Cursed Fates: Zodiac Academy, Book 5

When the fae world fractures, even love becomes a liability.

Book five of the Zodiac Academy series raises the emotional stakes to devastating heights as Tory and Darcy Vega find themselves caught between the academy's brutal politics and a war none of them are prepared to fight. With Lionel Acrux tightening his iron grip on power and the nymph threat spreading like a plague through the fae realm, survival is no longer guaranteed — for anyone.

But it's the personal battles that cut deepest. The enemies-to-lovers tension that has been simmering since book one reaches a fever pitch in this installment, forcing hearts to break wide open before they can begin to heal. Lines blur, loyalties shift, and the men who once seemed like rivals start feeling dangerously like something more. This is the installment where everything readers thought they understood about these relationships gets gloriously, painfully complicated.

Set against the richly imagined paranormal world of Solaria, Cursed Fates weaves romantic suspense and sizzling erotica into a romantasy epic that refuses to let up. Peckham and Valenti are masterful at balancing gut-punch heartbreak with moments of fierce, electric chemistry — and this book delivers both in abundance.

Secrets are exposed, alliances are shattered, and the twins must decide who they truly are before fate decides for them.

Fair warning: the ending will wreck you — and you'll immediately reach for book six.
