About this book
In a society where prophecy is a death sentence and dreaming is strictly forbidden, Mira serves as a Goldkeeper, a woman bred to guard wealth and surrender her kin to a ruthless order. Her life of rigid compliance shatters when she is mistakenly abducted by a raider from across the sea. Spirited away to a mysterious floating city, Mira finds herself at the mercy of a king who demands she read his fortune—a task that forces her to master the very art of rune casting she was taught to fear.
The man who kidnapped her, a charming and reckless raider, becomes an unexpected tether in this strange, new world. As their connection deepens, Mira faces a perilous choice: succumb to the conditioning of her order or embrace the dangerous truth of her abilities. Her disappearance ignites a volatile conflict in her homeland, drawing the attention of ancient, slumbering powers.
Caught between a forbidden romance that brands her a traitor and the realization that her fate may hold the key to the world’s survival, Mira must decide if she will continue to serve the destiny written for her or shatter the chains of her past to forge her own.

What readers are saying
Crystal Coast BookwormThis is What Fantasy Romance Should Be
"My mind is still reeling. Of Wind & Fate is an emotional rollercoaster in the best way. The story is told entirely from Mira’s point of view, framed as if she’s writing directly to the reader. In a genre saturated with multi-POV narratives, this felt incredibly refreshing. Experiencing the world—and every other character—solely through Mira’s perspective made everything more intimate and, at times, beautifully unreliable. Mira herself is a fantastic FMC. She can be a bit naïve early on, but it makes perfect sense given her sheltered upbringing. What truly stands out is her character arc. Watching her grow from who she is at the beginning into who she becomes by the end is deeply satisfying—honestly, wow. Since this is an ARC, I won’t spoil anything, but I can say this: the writing is lyrical, immersive, and absolutely beautiful. The worldbuilding feels fresh and distinct, especially in the contrast between the Isle and Aalt, the two primary settings. I also loved how the story weaves in Mira’s experience of learning a new language and culture, and how that challenges and reshapes the beliefs she carried with her. If you’re looking for a story that takes you on a journey—one with a tender, slow-burn romance (minimal spice, maximum yearning), touches of suspense, and a whole spectrum of emotion—this book delivers. Many Thanks to the author for gifting this book!!! ["
