The world of the series

Who gets to decide what makes a monster?

What really makes a monster, and who gets to decide? Claimed by Fate follows figures who may not be quite what inherited stories have made them out to be.

Across interconnected standalone novels, monsters, mortals, gods and witches collide with dangerous bargains and the roles fate has written for them. Each novel stands alone while belonging to the same wider mythic conversation.
