Untamed Fate (Magic Side: Wolf Bound 2)

side of a cliff along the coast. The top is formed by a massive spruce which

appears to be floating in midair. The dirt has eroded from around its roots,

leaving them to dangle down freely. The tree clings to the cliff above the

cave like a gangly spider or octopus. While the tree looks like it should topple

over, it continues to thrive, which has earned it the nickname, the Tree of

Life. Once we saw it, we knew that this had to be a way into the Dreamlands.

We used the imagery of the twisted roots throughout the book, a metaphor for

the strange connections between the waking world and that of dreams, as well

as the interwoven fate of Savannah, Jaxson, and her wolf.

Untamed Fate is set in the wider Dragon’s Gift universe created by

Linsey Hall. Magic’s Bend is the setting for many of her early stories, and

you might recognize Alia from her Wolf Queen Book 1, Darkest Moon. She

actually makes her first appearance in Infernal, book 1 of Linsey’s Hades &

Persephone series. Definitely check them out! You can expect a lot of

crossovers between the folks from Guild City, Magic’s Bend, and Magic Side

in the future.

That’s all that we have space for in this book, but we’ll be posting more
