Frenzied Fate by Rochelle L. Wilcox releases June 26, 2025, and if you’re into fantasy romance that brings the pain, the passion, and a few laugh-out-loud side characters with murdery tendencies, this is your chance to dive in early. ARC sign-ups are now open, and trust me—you’re going to want to know what happens before everyone else.
This is Book Two in the Tales of the Vanir series, following Sacred Struggle. The stakes are higher. The spice is hotter. The dragons? Still temperamental as hell.
Dive into Frenzied Fate:
The Queen’s eyes are everywhere.
Sifa and her dragon can’t hide in Vanatia.
Will they find safety or a sword in the enemy’s lands?Sifa’s free but she won’t find refuge here.
Desperate to keep Astarot from the queen’s clutches, Sifa and Fhord seek help from Vanatia’s rival kingdom. But when the capricious monarch demands an unexpected bounty for his support, the rider and her beast find themselves alone in a strange land facing an impossible task.
Fhord’s dragon is paying for his betrayal.
Aching to protect Sifa from brutal captivity in Vanatia, Fhord convinces her to stay behind as he chases the queen’s most closely-held secret. While he’s spent years searching in vain for the key to controlling Vanatia’s dragons, he risks losing both his beast and his mate if he fails this time.
Resolved to pay any price to protect Astarot, Sifa accepts the monarch’s charge and hunts for a wild dragon to tame. Fhord’s chasing answers in Vanatia, desperate to gather essential allies to wrest Tindera, and everyone else, from the queen’s grip.
Can Sifa and Fhord survive long enough to find the fighters they’ll need to save his dragon and liberate Vanatia from perpetual tyranny?
Frenzied Fate is the thrilling second book in the fantasy romance series, Tales of the Vanir. With breathtaking battles, sexy banter and sizzling spice, riders and their dragons fight for the right to be free. Frenzied Fate has a HFN ending with a mild cliffhanger, and will appeal to readers of Fourth Wing (Rebecca Yarros), Crescent City (Sarah J. Maas) and When the Moon Hatched (Sarah A. Parker).
