Fates and Curses

A Wolf Shifter Fantasy Paranormal Romance (The Ashmark, Book 1)

All I wanted was the minibar. Instead, I got a mate and a magical meltdown.

I only planned to visit my estranged, slightly off-her-rockers grandmother at her inn and maybe find a little closure. Instead, I get blown up, turned into a werewolf (excuse me, shifter), and found out I’m at the center of a prophecy that might doom the supernatural world.

No pressure.

Oh, and I apparently have a mate. Cade Westin, the dangerously hot alpha with a death stare and a talent for destruction. He says he’s bound to protect me, but I’m not sure even he can stop what’s coming.

Between my ferret sidekick with chaotic energy, my grandmother’s questionable “life advice,” and supernatural threats lurking at every turn, my emotional support chocolate ran out hours ago.

Survive the prophecy. Resist the mate bond. Avoid death-by-destiny. Easy enough.

Right?

**Duet narration from Scott Rose and Olivia King**

Fates and Curses is the first book in The Ashmark Trilogy, perfect for fans of cozy vibes with high stakes, wolf shifters, found family chaos, snarky heroines, grumpy alphas, and just the right amount of supernatural mayhem. If you like your fantasy with bite, banter, and a side of magical dysfunction, welcome to NightShade Manor.

loved it

Rowan goes to her grandma's house to get her to sign some paperwork, seems easy enough right? Easy in easy out, her and her pet ferret Archie will be back on the road in no time. Until she ignores the simple request of not answering the phone.
This is fast-paced, snarky and one you don't want to put down. I listened to the audiobook, and loved the narrators, they do an amazing job

Captivating, entertaining, and magical
