Caught in the twisted games of Fate.Thirty years ago, Xevius defied his orders by refusing to assassinate the woman who would birth the future mother of the Veredian Titans. Today, his government demands that he atones for that failure by ridding the world of those children before they grow even more powerful. While on that mission, he feels the pull of the Tuning—the psionic call of his true … call of his true mate. To complicate matters, his woman turns out to be the military leader and protector of the Veredians.
With tension rising between her people and the Xelixians, the last thing Kamala needs is a Korlethean assassin hunting the Veredian children. Attempting to eliminate him first should be an easy decision, except for the fact that he’s her soulmate. Swaying him to their side could be the key to solving many of their problems, but at what cost to him and his people?
As dire visions and prophecies multiply, Xevius is torn between his conscience, loyalty to his people, and his love for the woman who has captured his heart.

I’m so behind in this series so I will definitely recommend reading from the beginning of the Veredian Chronicles since it seems that some of the characters from previous books are involve in this story. But even for me being lost in some of this world. Xevius and Kamala was a wonderful reading but I’m still looking forward for more of this world maybe knowing of the new generation what will become of them who will find their soulmates there is still so much to know of this world.

Another incredible book written by author Regine Abel! The Veredian Chronicles is one of my favorite Sci-fi series, and I always look forward to the next story. Hands of Fate is the fifth book in the series, and even though each book focuses on a different couple, I recommend reading the series from the beginning. It will give you a better foundation to fully understand and appreciate the storyline. The characters from the earlier books often appear and play a part in the story, which may confuse those that haven’t read their books.
Hands of Fate tells the story of Kamala and Xevius. In this story, Xevius was hired by the Korlethean governing people to kill the Veredian Titans. Most are afraid of their power, but Xevius wasn’t convinced that they were dangerous. While he was spying on the kids, Xevius sensed Kamala as she walked outside. The two felt an instant connection, realizing that they are fated mates. Xevius now has to decide what to do. Follow the orders to assassinate or listen to his body and accept his mate.
Another fabulous story! I was hooked from the very beginning and can’t wait for the next in the series!

This is the much much anticipated finale of the Veredian Series by Regine Abel.
To enjoy this series to its fullest and to ensure you know what is going on…because this is a thick juicy steak of a series that is filled to the brim with plot….and this book is no different…you must read the other books in the series!!
Consider this your warning!! NO SPOILERS will be found here!
From the moment I started reading this series I loved it. Filled with masses and masses of world building that continued to develop and expand as the series grew, evolving and creating new worlds and real to life characters that individually stole my heart ( Ghan me baby! ) and my head. Making this one of my all time favourite sci fi reads ever!!
So it was with a somewhat heavy heart that I read that this was the final book in the series. I honestly didn’t know how it was going to end but I put my trust and faith in the wonderful author and found myself falling in love with this series all over again.
Picking up a few years after book 4, I was transported back, revisiting old friends and watching them battle again.. this time not only for their freedom, their friends and their families but for their children.
It was bloodthirsty, emotionally heart wrenching and filled with asskicking warrior women and their wonderful men.
The main focus in this book being the fantastic Kamala and her intended mate Xevius. Their conflict was a wonderful dance of pleasure and pain and their chemistry was scorching
This was ( like the others in the series) an emotional read and my eyes did fill up on a number of occasions….not just over the joy of reading about my wonderful book husband ( he’s had a promotion ) Gahn, along with many other beloved characters from the other books.
Putting it mildly…I adored this book…it’s a shining example of what a fantastic sci fi romance read should be, and a truly wonderful way to finish this series.
Korletheans and their fates are fascinating!
I was intrigued at the idea of a Korlethean assassin being the soulmate of a Veredian woman. Considering that she herself and the Veredian children she helps protect are among his targets, it won’t be simple! The more I read about Xevius, the more I admire him. He investigates and observes before he makes critical decisions regarding the lives of others. When he finds his true love, he gives her all he can.
The Titan children fascinate me. There’s such incredible potential there. I hope at some point we will see them as adults. Meanwhile, they continue growing into their skills, with expert help and a lot of love.
I loved seeing the Braxians more involved in this story, especially Krygor, Anton’s father.
There are so many exciting things happening, your head will spin! New alliances made, life-changing discoveries, secrets revealed, families reunited, questions answered, and a delicious romance. A deeply satisfying end to this story!
Xevius is an assassin that didn’t do as his government wanted 30 years ago. He was supposed to kill the woman who would be the mother of the future Veridian titans. Now his people want him to kill the titan children before they get grown. He meets the woman who is his mate at the wrong place and time. Kamala turns out to be the woman protecting the titan children and his mate. The twists and turns in this world are so fascinating and keep you wanting to read more. A great read and series!
I received a copy of this book and am leaving a review.
