A prince without a throne. A general who will kill to keep it. One hundred and eight stars destined to decide the fate of an empire.
For a thousand years, the House of Vargassian has ruled the Empire of the Golden Sun. But when tragedy strikes the imperial family, ambitious General Casper Leonberg turns chaos into opportunity. The palace falls, the throne is seized, and young Prince Hector Vargassian becomes the most hunted man in the realm.
Forced into exile while his sister remains in enemy hands, Hector finds refuge in the mysterious Temple of Destiny, where he learns of an ancient prophecy: a ruler of imperial blood will rise alongside one hundred and seven companions-the legendary 108 Stars of Destiny-to confront a darkness capable of consuming the realm.
But a prophecy cannot win a war.
To reclaim his birthright, Hector must gather rebels, warriors, strategists, outcasts, and unlikely allies from across a fractured empire. He must survive assassins, treacherous courts, brutal battles, ancient magic, and enemies whose ambitions stretch far beyond a stolen crown.
And as armies gather beneath rival banners, Hector faces a harder question than whether he can defeat the men who destroyed his family:
Does being the rightful heir make him worthy to rule?
Blending political intrigue, battlefield strategy, mythical creatures, ancient prophecy, and sweeping adventure, Wagers of Fate is a fast-moving epic fantasy about loyalty, ambition, sacrifice, and the dangerous difference between claiming a crown and earning it.
Inspired by the legendary Chinese classics Water Margin and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, reimagined within an original medieval fantasy world.
