About this listen
What is it like to be born knowing the name of your soul mate? What happens if that name suddenly changes? Khiriellen Fortiva is a member of an Elven clan that believes not knowing the name of your destined mate is akin to being soulless and that altering your fate is impossible. When Khiri steps forward to begin her life with her mate and finds he's no longer the one, her fate is forever altered. With her entire future crumbling to dust, Khiri is forced to leave her home and search for answers.
Estan is devoted to his goddess but has learned a terrible secret about those that follow her. He seeks the leaders of a war that has been over for 20 years, hoping that they can aid him in returning his order to righteous ways. Estan's only clue to finding these leaders lays within the pages of a tome that has had the name of its author removed.
The lands of their world are fraught with perils. Demons prowl the wilds, thieves roam the streets, and assassins lurk in the shadows. It's not safe to travel alone. Joined by paths of ill fortune and a band of unlikely followers, Khiri and Estan find themselves on a road that leads as much to the past as it does the future.

Story
My blood can cure death, but it can also be the deadliest poison on Earth, and the gods will try to kill me just for existing. Hades wants me to join him. Zeus is still bitter about an age-old prophecy that the dark gods, the monsters of Tartarus, will rule Olympus. And Poseidon is the key to everything, maybe even my heart, but his son, Triton, rules Atlantis, and I accidentally killed his daughter, Coraline.

However, saving the world isn’t as easy, or exciting, as it sounds in the stories. The going gets rough, and folks start to believe their best chance for survival is to surrender to the forces of evil, which isn’t how the prophecy goes. At all.
