About this listen

The GemMarked by the Gods, Kya is forced to partake in a Trial for a chance to be deemed Worthy. If she succeeds, she’ll be gifted great powers. If she fails, she could lose her life or worse. But that’s only the start of her worries. Now, the same plague that took her home is spreading and threatening the fate of the realm. Can Kya survive the Trial of the Gods and gain the needed power to rid the world of the growing threat before it’s too late? Or will she be drawn to what awaits her in the shadows?

The ShadowRyker has waited a long time for her—his mate. Now he’s found her. He plans to claim what is rightfully his, but dark forces threaten to destroy his Nation should he embrace the bond he so desperately desires. Unable to escape the drive to be near her, he waits for his precious gem, lingering in her shadow.

Worthy of Fate is the first book in a new adult, dark fantasy romance series with an intriguing magic system, dark forces, Spirits, and forbidden fated mates.

Excellent!

If you love Jennifer Armentrout of Sarah J. Maas's books this could be your new favorite author.
OMG. This fantasy romance duet novel is fabulous. The world-building is awesome and the characters are great. The gods choose the MFC Kya to go through a trial to prove if she is worthy or not to rule their people. She is strong and vibrant. Then there is the MMC Ryker a lord who has already been through the trials and proven his worth to rule their people. He is obsessive, with shadow powers, and of course hot. This is a fast-paced, action-packed story with magic. This story will keep you reading to the end with ghastly beasts, spirit animals, gods/goddesses, and curses/dark magic. Then you have the cliffhanger.

I also listen to this and highly recommend the narrators Laura Horowitz and Tyler Darby. They did a superb job! I hope they will also be narrating book 2!

the tension🔥

Both the story and the narrators were great👌🏽 the story was interesting and the tension between the main characters was just delicious. I can't wait to listen to the second! Please keep the same narrators🫶🏽 in the meantime I'll have to get the printed book because I need to know what happens next.

Love the different take on “Fae,” but wish it was duet

This was defiantly a read/listen that was worth the credit. I loved the magic system, and the different take on the fae. It reminds me of something, but I can’t place it lol I’ll def be reading the next one. One thing I wish tho is that the author would’ve given us more detail on how the ML looks. I know he has dark muffled hair (long? Maybe?) grey eyes, he’s tall af, lots of muscles, & he’s a shadow daddy with shadow wings. Other than that, I couldn’t really put a face to him the entire time. Also wish they would’ve done it duet style. Hate when the guy narrator voices the girls, & vice versa.. I had to keep thinking of other shadow daddy’s lol And I wish the mate bond was about 20% less of the story. I’m a big fan of slow SLOW burn, but the mating bond, & their attraction to each other got in the way of the story a few times. I have a feeling the next one will be better. I still have 2 hours left of the story, had to take a break and listen to something else. If you want a mini listen, & have extra credits, “Taken by the Dark Elf King” By Charlotte Swan is really good. The narration is chefs kiss.

Fated mates, forbidden romance

This was definitely a good time. I liked the trials they went through, the prophecies that help build tension between Kya and Ryker.

The Trial has come again. Kya must enter; and if she isn’t deemed Worthy, she will suffer a fate potentially worse than death. Not to mention the plague that is spreading. She has no Nation or strong power. Can she truly be Worthy?

Ryker has his shadow power, his Nation, but not his mate. Until he can sense her going into the Trial. When someone tells him it will destroy all he’s built to claim the mate bond, can he risk it all for her.

Wow.. 🤯

So good I can’t even describe how much I enjoyed this book I can’t wait for the next one, and the narrator was amazing for our FL.. I won’t lie it took a moment for the ML voice to get used to, but I enjoyed both by the end of the book and really liked this new take on a fae world very interesting. I also felt that the FL had a good balance between being a total badass and submissive with her guy, I wasn’t left feeling disappointed with her character.

Fantastic Performance!

I love the way the narrators brought this story to life - the tension and heartbreak throughout the story really came through with their performance.

Omg I couldn’t stop!

Worthy of Fate by A.N. Caudle is a literal fantasy masterpiece and the first book in the Realms in Peril series. The world building is done so beautifully and it is so easy to get wrapped up in this book. I read this book in 2 days because once I hit the 40% ish mark, I absolutely just could not put it down. I had to keep reading to see what was going to happen next because it was that good.

There’s nothing I love more than a strong and stabby FMC and that is exactly what we get with Kya. When she sets her mind to something, nothing is going to hold her back. She is an absolute badass who knows her strength and will do whatever she must for those she loves. Having been marked to compete in the Trial, will she be found worthy? And if so, what does her future hold?

As far as our MMC goes, we cannot forget about Ryker who is definitely a strong and sexy shadow daddy. I mean, he can stalk me any damn day! But I also really enjoyed seeing his sweet side and how much he can care for those he loves. Will he be able to save his nation or will he give into his temptations? And if he cannot avoid his little gem, what will be their fate?

This book had me laughing, blushing, crying, and just experiencing an entire boatload of different emotions. It ends in a cliffhanger and that epilogue has me reeling to find out what the next book will bring us. But this book gets 5 stars from me and I will absolutely be thinking about it like it’s my new Roman Empire. I will be ordering a physical copy for my bookshelf.
