Details

A Forgery of Fate is a romantic fantasy about a girl who paints the future and a cursed dragon lord, bound by love and deception in a plot to bring down the gods.

Truyan Saigas has spent years using her talent for forgery to keep her family afloat, but even her rare ability to paint the future cannot save them from ruin. When a mysterious dragon lord offers her a bargain, a marriage contract that could free her from debt and reveal long-buried secrets, she agrees to leave everything behind for his isolated palace beneath the sea. In return, she must use her magic to help him weave a treacherous deception against the Dragon King, a scheme that could change the fate of both mortals and gods. But as she uncovers the truth behind her new husband’s intentions, she begins to wonder if she has traded one cage for another.

    To me, A Forgery of Fate felt like an incredible mix of Mulan and The Little Mermaid 🐉🧜‍♀️

    But what completely won me over was the world itself. Asian mythology, dragons, and an underwater realm so stunning that it made my imagination run wild. There are phoenix demons, heroic turtles, sharks, dangerous jellyfish, and, of course, the Dragon King. At some point, my imagination just went completely wild 😅

    And beneath all that colorful, magical fantasy is a story about family, love, and connection. At its heart, it’s a reimagining of the classic Beauty and the Beast tale, but it’s so vibrant and deeply infused with Asian mythology that it feels entirely like a story of its own.

    The only thing I wished for was a little more romance — I would have loved to see the relationship between the characters develop a bit more. But the incredible world more than made up for it.

    And the book design deserves a special mention. It’s absolutely gorgeous. The details, the illustrations, the colors… And the little fish along the page edges are just incredible! 🐟🩷

    Overall, this is one of those books you don’t just want to read — you also want to stop every now and then just to admire it.

    Beautiful!

    This is quite possibly the most beautiful book I own, from the dust jacket illustrations to the naked hardback itself!
