Fated is a compendium novel to Fable, Book 1 of The Lorn Prophecy Series. Fated is the continuing story of the prologue in Fable; or, if you rather, a prequel story. Fated carries the reader into Djenrye-a world parallel to our own. A dimension that is pristine and untouched by industry or pollution. Yet, despite all its beauty, Djenrye is in turmoil. Phraile Highlae, the home of our heroine, Carlynn, is brutally attacked by a faction known as the Rebellion. She and her husband, Raynok-the city's Guardian-are forced to flee for their lives and the life of their unborn child. The rebellious faction is led by Dekren, who seeks to control both Djenrye and the parallel world, Terra-hun. To do so, he requires the blood and power of a Guardian to be drained into Ty Ortehlae-the five Orbs which hold the balance of the earth. When Dekren's soldiers kill Raynok in a vicious attack, the last Guardian becomes...the child of Raynok and Carlynn. There is turmoil within Dekren's ranks, as well. His Second in Command, Torren (whose name you should recognize from Fable), is planning a coup of his own. If he succeeds, he will take command of the Rebellion and, with any luck, Djenrye and Terra-hun. With the aid of a Master Warrior, Ghorgon, Carlynn must escape the Rebels and overcome the dangers of the wilderness to find a safe haven for her infant. She is driven to the edge of her strength, willpower, and willingness to do whatever it takes to protect her child and prevent the destruction of both dimensions.
