Book BLURB:
GAMES
OF FATE
Contains
Adult Sexual Content and some violent imagery.
Rysa
Torres misses information. Loses concentration. Her
attention problems randomize her life but she pushes forward anyway, doing the
best she can—until monsters activate a part of her she didn’t know she
had.
As
visions of the future whip inside her head, Rysa realizes the
truth: She’s a Fate.
And
she will set fire to the world.
All
her options explode. Her family ripped away, what little control she
had destroyed, Rysa is left with one choice: Will she die to stop the
coming flames, or will she allow the man and the dragon she loves to die in her
place?
Games
of Fate begins Fate ~ Fire ~ Shifter ~ Dragon, a new Urban
Fantasy series with Strong Romantic Elements by Kris Austen
Radcliffe. Set in the open spaces of America, the series takes Rysa
and Ladon—and Ladon’s companion beast, Dragon—through a landscape punctuated by
unfamiliar creatures: Fates with the ability to see past, present,
and future. Ghouls called Burners who devour with fire and acid. Shifters
who shape much more than their bodies. And two dragons who speak
with color and pattern.
It
starts here, now, with one young woman’s fight against a burning future—and
against the death of the man she loves.
Also
available: Prolusio: Three Stories of Fates, Fire, Shifters
and Dragons.
PROLUSIO:
Contains
some violent imagery.
Three
short stories set in the Fate ~ Fire ~ Shifter ~ Dragon universe, Prolusio sets
the stage for Games of Fate, also available now.
In
Texas, a struggling rock star attempts a comeback. Fire, though, has
other ideas.
In
Wisconsin, Shifters do what they do best—anger a dragon.
And
in Minnesota, a mother struggles to free herself from the bonds of a fate she
cannot escape.
BIO: As a child, Kris took down a pack
of hungry wolves with only a hardcover copy of The Dragonriders of Pern and a sharpened toothbrush. That fateful day set her on a path traversing
many storytelling worlds—dabbles in film and comic books, time as a talent
agent and a textbook photo coordinator, and a foray into nonfiction. After co-authoring Mind Shapes: Understanding the
Differences in Thinking and Communication, Kris returned to academia. But
she craved narrative and a richly-textured world of Fates, Shifters, Burners, and
Dragons—and unexpected, true love.
Kris lives in Minnesota with her husband, two daughters, an Handsome Cat,
and an entire menagerie of suburban wildlife bent on destroying her house. That battered-but-true copy of
“Dragonriders”? She found it yesterday. It’s time to pay a visit to the woodpeckers.

This was my first experience with Kris Austen's writing, but I can guarantee it will not be my last. I completely connected with Rysa and her struggles with ADD...lol. Even though it was set in a fantastical world, the characters were very realistic. This book literally sucks you in from the first paragraph and refuses to release you until you finish it. I was fortunate (or unfortunate for my sleep..lol) to begin my journey into this book at night when my babies were in bed. It is a book you will not want to put down. It has everything you would want in a fabulous book: dragons(caught that I put that first ehh?), adventure, romance, violence, and a roller coaster ride of fabulous that doesn't release, even when the story is through!! It's a great mix of urban fantasy and paranormal romance. After all: Rysa is a Fate, and her journey into becoming one was not easy, and proved to by an extraordinary adventure!! I can't wait for the next book!! Excellent Read!
