Summary

DEAL BREAKER Stones of Fate • Book 1 Trigger Warnings ⚠️ Earth is given a rare opportunity—access to the Wakers’ advanced knowledge, powerful enough to help restore a dying planet. In return, the Wakers are offered something far more valuable: the chance to find mates among Earth’s women. With their own females nearly extinct, this is more than a trade—it’s survival. Laven is the first sent. A Waker chosen to test the bond, armed with a fated mate stone that has never failed to lead his kind to the one meant for them. But on Earth, nothing goes as expected. The stone rejects every woman carefully selected for him—until it reacts to someone who was never part of the deal. A woman who wants nothing to do with him. With only three months before he’s forced to leave, Laven must prove the bond is real… or walk away from the one woman he knows is his. The problem? She’s trapped in a life she’s too afraid to escape— and the man controlling Earth’s entire selection process is the very reason she won’t choose him at all.
