On the hidden island of Naturae, where a living mist guards the last refuge of the fae, reluctant heir Hope has always been an anomaly. With blood-red wings and a dangerous hunger, she doesn't fit the role she was born into, or the destiny the fae expect her to claim. While others fight, belong, and become what they were created to be, Hope questions who she truly is... and what she's meant to become.
When her rare power awakens into something far more unpredictable, showing her visions of the future instead of the past, Hope glimpses a terrifying truth: the island's magic is failing. While her parents, Queen Aioffe and Joshua, are preoccupied with rebuilding the future, and a new ruler of the witches is determined, Hope must decide whether to follow the path laid out for her... or risk everything to forge her own and save Naturae.
Beyond the island, Henry Fitzroy walks a dangerous line between ambition and obsession, navigating human courts and rising political chaos in his ruthless pursuit of power. As his path takes him into Catherine de Medici's court, his choices may decide not only the fate of kingdoms, but Hope's future as well.
Perfect for fans of hidden worlds, chosen one with a twist, forbidden magic, morally grey characters, political intrigue, found family, slow-burn romance, and self-discovery stories, Discovering Destiny is a gripping, YA appropriate historical fantasy about identity, power, and choosing your own destiny - even when the fates predict otherwise.
