Fated Blades

by Ilona Andrews

Overview

A USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller.

An uneasy alliance between warring families gets heated in this otherworldly novella from bestselling author Ilona Andrews.

At first glance, the planet Rada seems like a lush paradise. But the ruling families, all boasting genetically enhanced abilities, are in constant competition for power—and none more so than the Adlers and the Baenas. For generations, the powerful families have pushed and pulled each other in a dance for dominance.

Until a catastrophic betrayal from within changes everything.

Now, deadly, disciplined, and solitary leaders Ramona Adler and Matias Baena must put aside their enmity and work together in secret to prevent sinister forces from exploiting universe-altering technology. Expecting to suffer through their uneasy alliance, Ramona and Matias instead discover that they understand each other as no one in their families can—and that their combined skills may eclipse the risks of their forbidden alliance.

As the two warriors risk their lives to save their families, they must decide whether to resist or embrace the passion simmering between them. For now, the dance between their families continues—but just one misstep could spell the end of them both.

About the Author

“Ilona Andrews” is the pseudonym for a husband-and-wife writing team. Ilona is a native-born Russian, and Gordon is a former communications sergeant in the US Army. Contrary to popular belief, Gordon was never an intelligence officer with a license to kill, and Ilona was never the mysterious Russian spy who seduced him. They met in college English Composition 101, where Ilona got a better grade. (Gordon is still sore about that.)

Gordon and Ilona currently reside in Texas with their two children and many dogs and cats.

They have coauthored four New York Times and USA Today bestselling series: the Kate Daniels urban fantasy series, the Edge rustic fantasy books, the Hidden Legacy paranormal romance novels, and the Innkeeper Chronicles, which they post as a free weekly serial.

Editorial Reviews

Fans of the Kinsmen series (Silent Blade; Silver Shark) will enjoy this third adventure.” —Library Journal

From the Publisher

The planet Rada is beautiful and peaceful—as long as residents stay out of the way of the kinsmen families. Two of the deadliest kinsmen families, the Adlers and the Baenas, are "secare"—born with genetic and mental abilities that turn them into the deadliest of fighters. One secare is an army; a matched pair are unstoppable. Family heads Ramona Adler and Matias Baena discover both have been betrayed from within, and if the stolen technology falls into the wrong hands, their families, their honor, and Rada itself may be destroyed. Putting aside personal feelings, they work together to recover the technology, and along the way, discover they have much more in common than a family feud. VERDICT Fans of the "Kinsmen" series (Silent Blade; Silver Shark) will enjoy this third adventure, but it's best purchased by libraries with access to the entire series.—Melanie C. Duncan
