The Ethereal Realm

Much about the Ethereal Realm remains shadowed or undefined. Where it begins and ends, no one can really say, as none have been able to reach the boundaries of it. Within the realm is a vast universe, featuring a seemingly endless supply of planets where souls are being refined and the Eternal Kingdom, the kingdom of the Gods and Goddesses, called Caelari. Space shifts and bends in mind-boggling ways, but one fact always remains certain: no matter how far or wide one goes, they will always be connected to the Weave.

The Eternal Kingdom

Comprised of breathtaking views, endless skies, and a breathing lotus flower statue at the center, this kingdom is fit to hold the most powerful immortals in the universe. The Eternal Kingdom is governed supremely by the Celestial Empresses: Kismet, Lethe, and Nyssa; however, they have delegated a significant portion of the operational duties to the High Priestesses, in favor of devoting their attention to commanding the Weave, restoring balance, and deciding the future.

The Crystal Palace

The Crystal Palace is nestled deep within the mythical Ethereal Realm, outside of the main Eternal Kingdom, and is crafted of dazzling natural crystal slabs. This palace is where Cosima Aphelion was raised in secret by her mother and grandmother, learning how to wield her gifts from the Hand of Fate herself.

The Planet Haelos

While all worlds are hand-crafted by the High Priestesses – a council of twelve Goddesses selected for their power and connection to the universe – Haelos is unique. The planet’s creator, Ehses, the Spirit Goddess, defied the rules by crafting magic-less mortals. While souls are meant to endure a degree of hardship to become refined through reincarnations, the High Priestesses were forbidden from creating mortal beings without powers, as the sacred energy is a divine right for all creations. Ehses continued her experiments, creating Fae whose souls do not leave after death, but instead are recycled, allowing them to be perpetually reborn on the same planet, further disrupting the delicate balance of the universe. This disorder created tension between the shadow-types, faeries, and humans, leading to the creation of three separate districts: Ombra for the shadow-types, Eternita for the faeries, and Prisma for the humans.

The Aeria Archipelago

The Aeria Archipelago is a breath-taking collection of three sky-bound islands floating miles above the surface of Haelos. Aeria is home to thousands of powerful immortals called Ambrosi and winged immortal guardians called Rani Guardians. The Archipelago transmutes the power provided by the Ambrosi into energy. This fuels the Archipelago as the Ambrosi carry out tasks, from directly interfering in the lives of those assigned to them, to caring for the actual planet. A majority of the immortals are assigned to resolving problems that arise in the lives of those living Below.

What an incredible debut novel! I've been looking for a fantasy book that actually has a strong FMC, and Sima is exactly that. I loved the magic system, the side characters, and of course the cinnamon roll love interest. Excited to read more from this author in the future!

An absolutely incredible story whose heart, strength, and empowerment will leave you breathless. With characters you can’t help but endear yourself to and a world you will want to fall in love with, Fate’s Tether is one of the most beautiful stories I’ve read in a very long time.

Jordan Hancock via Goodreads / Fate's Teather

This debut novel by Jade has been one I’ve been waiting patiently for 😉. Cosima’s journey was one of pain, endurance, strength, and trust in herself to rise above the awful circumstances she was put in. Reading and seeing her grow and evolve just—wow. This book covers a sensitive subject in such a way that doesn’t bury you in darkness but shows that light that can be reached. I sincerely appreciate this approach and can feel the passion of each emotion. I am so proud of Sima…and rooting for her and our winged friend 😉 I NEED this on my bookshelf so I am counting down the days to its official release!
