Fate & Furies is the third installment of author Helen Scheuerer's The Legends of Thezmarr series. The story picks up a year after the gut-wrenching betrayal at the end of Vows & Ruins, with Althea “Thea” Zoltaire consumed by a thirst for vengeance and darkness bleeding into the Midrealms poisoning the world with its curse, wraiths, reapers, and other monsters. Her target? Wilder Hawthorne, the brooding Warsword, shattered her trust and set her on a relentless pursuit across the midrealms.
As Thea and her companions—loyal friends like Callahan Whitlock and Kristopher "Kipp" Snowden—chase Wilder through a landscape teeming with shadow wraiths and political intrigue, they uncover revelations that threaten to upend everything they know about their world. Thea also knows that her life is ticking towards either the end of the road or being successful when she gets the call to participate in the Great Rite. Something she's been training for, thanks to Wilder. The narrative hinges on a tantalizing question: will Thea’s reunion with Wilder reignite their fiery passion or end in a deadly showdown?
Thea herself is a force to be reckoned with, but her storm magic appears to be fighting her. Her evolution from the determined novice of Blood & Steel to a hardened warrior grappling with love, betrayal, and destiny is beautifully realized. Scheuerer doesn’t shy away from her flaws—her stubbornness, her rage—but uses them to fuel a character arc that’s both empowering and relatable. The supporting cast shines just as brightly. Characters like Anya, a fierce Delmirian warrior, and Adrienne, Wilder’s ex-lover turned ally, add depth and complexity to the found-family dynamic that Scheuerer excels at crafting.
Their banter and loyalty provide moments of levity amidst the darkness, while their own subplots—like Anya’s growing prominence—hint at bigger roles in the series finale. Fate & Furies is a rollercoaster of twists and revelations. Brutal secrets about Thezmarr’s history and Wilder’s actions come to light, forcing Thea to confront her loyalties and her heart. The cliffhanger ending is a gut punch, leaving readers desperate for Shadow & Storms. It’s darker and more intense than its predecessors, pushing Thea and Wilder to their limits while setting the stage for a cataclysmic finale.
This book takes readers deeper into the sprawling, monster-haunted world of Thezmarr, where darkness looms, secrets unravel, and the stakes—both global and personal—reach dizzying heights. The looming threat of the Furies—enigmatic forces tied to the series’ overarching conflict—adds a layer of dread that permeates every chapter. This isn’t just a backdrop; it’s a living, breathing entity that shapes the characters’ choices and amplifies the stakes.
