Summary

Three sisters battle against their Nyx-given powers. Can they, the rulers of Fate, escape their own destiny?

The Fates Summary

The Fates: A spellbindingly original mythical retelling for 2024 by Rosie Garland

You've heard the legends, now hear their truth . . .

Before Gods and mortals, there were The Fates - three sisters born out of Nyx's darkness, destined to weave the lives, and deaths, of humankind for eternity.

But immortality is a heavy burden, and Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos are captivated by the gloriously human lives of the mortals below, especially those of the great warrior Atalanta and her ill-fated lover, Meleager.

However, being a Goddess of Fate doesn't make you a master of it. Will these three sisters find a way to free the couple, and themselves, from their destinies? Or will they be bound by Fate forever?

The Fates Reviews

Lyrical, imaginative, visceral, urgent, moving, adventurous. Rose Blythe brings The Fates startlingly back to life. This is how the ancient Greeks would have known The Fates - and their own fates * Sean Lusk, author of THE SECOND SIGHT OF ZACHARY CLOUDESLEY *
Passionate, angry, empowering and beautiful * Louise Beech, author of NOTHING ELSE *
This is a gorgeous novel. Amidst the now formidable number of feminist mythological retellings, The Fates is a clear stand-out. The prose is truly lyrical and immersive. The characters - mortal and divine - are beautifully drawn. And as for the plot twist... I doubt any readers will see this one coming! For lovers of reimaginings of Greek myths, The Fates is a must-buy * Mark Knowles, author of ARGO *
The Fates is beautifully written and conceived. The storytelling is effortless, yet fiercely and satisfyingly feminist. A gorgeous read! * NYDIA HETHERINGTON, author of A GIRL MADE OF AIR *
A mesmerising blend of mythology and modernity speaking "the mother tongue." A tale, capturing the heart in a world where we are lost. * Defne Suman, author of The Silence of Scheherazade *
A gorgeous novel . . . truly lyrical and immersive * Mark Knowles, author of ARGO *
