Ignyte Award-winning author C. L. Clark brings fantasy to the fens with Fate's Bane, a tragic sapphic adventure.

Warring clans. Burning hearts. Deadly fate.

The clans of the fens enjoy a tenuous peace, and it is all thanks to Agnir, ward and hostage. For as long as she can remember she has lived among the enemy, learning their ways, growing strong alongside their children. When a burgeoning love for the chieftain’s daughter lures them both to a hidden spring, a magic awakens in them that could bind the clans under one banner at last—or destroy any hope of peace. By working their intentions into leather, they can weave misfortune for their enemies… just like the Fate’s Bane that haunts the legends of the clans.

Ambitions grow in their fathers’ hearts, grudges threaten a return to violence, and greedy enemies wait outside the borders, seeking a foothold to claim the fens for themselves. And though their Makings may save their families, the legend that gave them this power always exacts its price.

C. L. Clark is the author of the Magic of the Lost trilogy (including The Unbroken and The Faithless), Ambessa: Chosen of the Wolf, an Arcane novel, and Fate’s Bane. When she’s not writing or working, she’s swinging swords or chasing trails. Her short stories and essays have appeared in The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy, Reactor (formerly Tor.com), Beneath Ceaseless Skies, and more.
