Welcome
to Books, Books, and More Books. I am
pleased to share my review of this book with you. Thank you for visiting and please come again.
Blurb :
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.
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.
About
the Author:
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.

Review
Love
the idea of the Ladon/Dragon connection.
And I never saw the twist at the end coming… Loved it. This book has something for everyone. Fates (mythology), dragons (fantasy),
shifters (paranormal), burners (think post-apocalyptic), family dysfunction
(enough to make even me cringe and I worked for Child Protective Services),
and, of course, romance. (insert heavy
sigh here).
The
plot is well thought out, immediately drawing the reader into the story and
connecting them with the characters. All
the characters were someone you might know… or do know. They were realistic, didn’t immediately all
into each other’s beds or trust instantly, and vulnerable when they needed to
be yet tough enough to survive the
battle they didn’t really want to fight in the first place.
This
is my first book by Kris Austen Radcliffe, but it definitely
won’t be my last. I give it a solid 4.5
and look forward to reading more by her in the future.
