NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED

“No one writes emotional, immersive, beautiful chaos like Melissa Roehrich.”—LJ Andrews, bestselling author of The Ever Seas and Broken Souls and Bones

A Destiny to Defy

Tessalyn Ausra has been betrayed at every turn, but she’s also dealt betrayals of her own. With the consequences of her choices hanging over her, she’s done letting others define her purpose, but choosing that path could prove costly. Theon has sent her away, and Luka is wrestling with his own destiny, unsure if that still includes her. The rest of Tessa’s companions are wary now that everyone has tasted her vengeance and experienced her chaos. Maybe they should be. Maybe balance has always been an illusion. And maybe she stands at the same crossroads she has been at from the very beginning: salvation or destruction?

A Fate to Outrun

Theon St. Orcas is no stranger to sacrifice. He has spent his entire life ensuring the ones he loves are safe. Preparing to face the Fates and the destruction of their realm, he only wants to spend the time he has left with the family that remains in Devram. But as he prepares to find his brother, more than one secret comes to light that has him questioning everything. Were the sacrifices all for nothing in the end?

A Future to Change

Just when he thought he was adjusting to his new life in the Underground, Axel St. Orcas finds himself thrust into a battle with the dark and depraved. With Kat at his side, they set about building alliances with the other Districts. But everywhere he looks, there’s sabotage, not to mention the kingdoms fracturing beyond the Underground. He refuses to bend a knee to injustice, but can he really change the future for those who have been wronged?

Who will be left standing when Chaos comes to reign?

I really loved this series. The story is great. The world the author created andcthe male characters are fantastic. This is the first book Ive read where I disliked the main female character Tessa. But thankfully Theon, Luca and Axel make up for it.

I really, really enjoyed how this wrapped up the series. I was close to DNFing during the first book... I found the FMC intolerable. To be honest, it didn't change much throughout! However, I loved the story, the relationships, the side characters and the wider world and magic system! the TWO MMC (!!!) are very different but glorious in their own way and the darkness (and spice!) is on another level. Please give it a shot, you won't regret it! (the first chapter is a bit bleak and seems a little hopeless, but all is not what it seems) Enjoy!! (I'll miss these characters so much!!)

Tessa is still infuriating... but I LOVED IT!

So...what am i going to do with my life now? There were moments when i hated all of the characters in the book, especially Tessa. I threw the book against the wall, and paced while reading because i couldn't sit still!! JUST READ IT!! The narrators are great, amazing performance! Must read!

The book hangover will destroy you!

This was one of my most anticipated book releases of the season and it absolutely did not disappoint.
It's hard to unpack why I was so invested in these characters because they are all seriously morally grey! From the start of this book Tessa is in full Golem ("My Precious" ) unhinged state, Theon still possessively obsessive and Luka is having a full-on dragon sized strop. Even Eviana is dragging 2 of the few descent characters around by their noses😂.
Somehow all the craziness begins to make sense as huge secrets are revealed and political machinations and motivations are dragged into the light.
Roehrich cleverly does not fall into the trap of suddenly turning her monsters into saints - some never changing despite facing new realities, and even the 'heroes(?)' of the story, only bend so far, giving this series a dark, gritty edge - not for the soft-hearted!
There are a few graphic intimate scenes but they are well written and part of the story, never random page-filling.
All the key plot lines are satisfyingly tied up whilst leaving plenty of openers for new Chaosphere series - which I await with anticipation!
Overall, one of the best dark fantasy series around: (very) flawed, damaged characters, complex multi-layered plot, multiple POVs in 3rd person, high stakes action. What's not to like?!
(The audio is duel - both narrators are great and give depth to the characters although I persisted to struggle with the nasal tones of Tessa)


Satisfying finale to this brilliantly written (very!) dark fantasy series

So pleased with this final book in the series. It had me gasping at some points. I’m so glad the series is ending here instead of dragging it out. It kept me gripped the whole way through, all the characters are flawed but you can’t help rooting for them. It was just a great ending to the series.

A fantastic ending
