Fate Dark Side of Betrayer

More than any dagger, treachery tears. Once the respected Commander of the High Guard, Arden Solis knew devotion like a second skin until the day it was torn away. Driven from the one home they have ever known, Arden follows those she once guarded, accused for treason and thrown into exile.

The Council chose earlier its scapegoat. Arden is portrayed as the orchestrator of a horrible attack on Eldermire using fake documents, false witnesses, and carefully thought out conspiracies—forgotten proof. Still, the real genius lurks in the background and pulls strings from the highest degrees of power.


Arden is left without direction, hence he creates a strained relationship with Kellan Veylan—the only person who understands the depths of the dishonesty but also the one who may have begun it. Their shared history twists in love and heartbreak, trust and deceit. Kellan says he is innocent, having been put up just as Arden was. Arden could, however, believe him or is this another game of dishonesty?

As they find the truth, the two fugitives are trapped in an ancient prophecy—one that outlines a cycle of betrayal spun directly into the fabric of Fate. Two betrayers, one designed to rise and the other punished to fall. Eldermire\'s deadliest danger is not the one they expected; the more he investigates deeper Arden finds:

The debate really goes beyond simple fairness. It goes for override of Fate itself.

Arden now needs to choose whether to fight for vengeance or flee the fate destined to catastrophe. But for those who dare question Fate, she has never been kind.

In a world where trust is a luxury and betrayal is inherent, how one might escape a destiny already written in blood?
