Ruled by Fate

Sam Withrow & Amelia Pinkis

Literary Titan Gold Book AwardReaders’ Favorite Five StarsBook Nerdection: Worth to Read

Brianna Weldon has finally done it — convinced herself it was all a hallucination. Of course her mother wasn’t attacked by shadowy monsters in the woods. Of course her ancestral pendant didn’t magically heal her from fatal injuries after the accident. Of course a guardian angel didn’t come to save her life. But no sooner has she driven off to a fresh start in Virginia than it all happens again: her pendant wakes up, the monsters attack, and the angel Cameron returns to save her life. Brie does what any sensible young nurse graduate would do in those circumstances — asks where the hell he’s been, and punches him in the face.
