The Strings of Fate

Freedom for Rhethos Series, Book Two

By: Hannah R. Lyon

Narrated by: Nick Sandys, Patrice Egleston

Narrated by Audiofile Award Winner, Nick Sandys.

The rebellion rising in Rhethos just got more complicated. When Will unexpectedly takes control of a towne still loyal to The Bradford, he is forced to choose between slaughtering those who oppose him and somehow turning Lorington’s rulers to his cause. The vicious Rhethosian Captain and his army are marching north, the rebel’s supplies have been destroyed, and a new complication creates a rift between Will and his estranged daughter. When an ancient form of magic calls to her from beneath Lorington’s streets, Devaki has the very core of her faith questioned. Finding her place in the fight for freedom and following her Mother may prove she has to sacrifice everything.

As Josh’s connection with Cybarys grows, outside forces from his past cause unexpected chaos. Josh finds that the Goddess has prophetic plans for him that can either save or destroy more than just Will’s rebellion . . . if he can unquestioningly obey her. Angelyn delves into the way women have been generationally abused, realizing that teaching them to own their voices holds great power. No matter how hard Will tries to avoid the Goddess, he finds that Cybarys is involved in his fight for freedom. When pieces of both kingdoms’ histories are exposed as lies, he risks losing his child whom he’s desperately prepared himself to meet for sixteen years.

With his deepening relationship with Angelyn, Will knows that Rhethos deserves better than another monster as its ruler. Can he make the right choices and keep the love of those he holds most dear?

Mind blowing

So many twists & turns. Different explorations, new secrets coming to light & then she connects some of the dots & the end. I was like wait!? What!? That can’t be the end! There has to be more! I really enjoyed the 1 st book & this 2 need book takes it to a new addiction level. I must read the next book!! & when I do I’m definitely getting the audible because the narrators voice is perfect & smooth & breathes live to the characters that makes you feel like you are there with them!

I'm hooked

The Strings of Fate started immediately after the ending The Rebel in Violet, so you definitely need to read the first before diving into this one.

With the same narrator as the first, I loved the accent. Again, I felt transported to Rhethos.

The story line continues on, with more magic, more spies, more secrets. I loved the continuing character growth from Will and Angelyn—and yes! There finally is a bit more romance💜—with both of them opening up and showing their vulnerabilities.

Additionally, I love the multiple points-of-view, especially getting insight into Devaki and Joshua, as they seem integral to the future of Rhethos. There are so many movign parts, I'm so excited to see where it's gonna go next.

Another interesting listen from Hannah R. Lyon and I'm hooked to see how everything will be resolved.

Hannah outdoes herself again! Now I must have book 3!

Loved book one and got even more attached to the characters in book two! Every element of a masterful magical story is included and nothing was predictable. So many twists and turns and now I’m dying for the final part of the trilogy! And the narrator is the best I’ve ever heard. So well done!

Fantastic story!

I was enthralled from beginning to end! I absolutely cannot wait until the final book comes out! Hannah makes me love the characters and her story telling is superb!
