The Fates Divide (Carve the Mark Series #2)

by Veronica Roth

Overview

#1 New York Times Bestseller!

In the second book of the Carve the Mark duology, globally bestselling Divergent author Veronica Roth reveals how Cyra and Akos fulfill their fates. The Fates Divide is a richly imagined tale of hope and resilience told in four stunning perspectives.

The lives of Cyra Noavek and Akos Kereseth are ruled by their fates, spoken by the oracles at their births. The fates, once determined, are inescapable.

Akos is in love with Cyra, in spite of his fate: He will die in service to Cyra’s family. And when Cyra’s father, Lazmet Noavek—a soulless tyrant, thought to be dead—reclaims the Shotet throne, Akos believes his end is closer than ever.

As Lazmet ignites a barbaric war, Cyra and Akos are desperate to stop him at any cost. For Cyra, that could mean taking the life of the man who may—or may not—be her father. For Akos, it could mean giving his own. In a stunning twist, the two will discover how fate defines their lives in ways most unexpected.

Entertainment Weekly

Read by an ensemble cast, THE FATES DIVIDE is the sequel to the sci-fi series Carve the Mark. Despite their fate, Cyra and Akos continue their doomed romance while Cyra’s father, the tyrant Lazmet, claims his throne after being thought dead for some time. As a war brews, Cyra and Akos begin a journey to stop Lazmet and ultimately discover where their fates actually lie. The cast does not disappoint in delivering this emotionally charged performance. Each narrator depicts different characters’ perspectives and emotions, more so than the previous installment, that focuses on world building and lore. Listeners will enjoy witnessing the relationships develop between the characters while the plot builds to a climax. G.M. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
