“BEYOND FATE” / AMALIA DILLIN
Alpena, MI (August 20, 2014) – World Weaver Press (Eileen Wiedbrauk, Editor-in-Chief) has
announced Beyond Fate, the highly anticipated conclusion to the “Fate of the Gods” trilogy by
Amalia Dillin, will be available in trade paperback and ebook Tuesday, September 16, 2014.
Praise for “Fate of the Gods”:

“You won’t be able to deny that Miss Dillin is a genius … This story was absolutely amazing. It’s like
nothing I’ve read before … a complete game changer.”
— Parajunkee
“An amazing fantasy world which succeeds in cleverly incorporating history, mythology and biblical
figures. The seamless integration of Norse and Greek gods was inspired and I can’t wait to see
where this series heads next.”
— Book Chick City
"Eve is my absolute favorite kind of character. I would absolute recommend reading the entire
[Fate of the Gods] series. I can't wait to read more by Amalia Dillin. Definitely worth the read!"
— Good Choice Reading
“One of the more fascinating and haunting books I’ve read in quite some time.”
— JC Andrijeski, Allie’s War
“A beautiful, sweeping story that puts on display the power of every interpretation of love, and the
truth of what can be accomplished when people choose peace over strife. I couldn’t put it out of my
mind for days.”
— Trisha Leigh, The Last Year

The epic conclusion to the Fate of the Gods trilogy. When Adam left Eve,
abandoning his wife and their newborn daughter Elah, he thought he was
saving the world. But he hadn't counted on the influence of Michael, twisting
Elah's love for her parents into paranoia, or the slow, leaching death of the
world she rules. Even with the help of Raphael, Elah is becoming her father's
daughter, a master manipulator, and she's determined to have her way, even
if it means betraying her own mother's trust.

With Loki and the Aesir gone, Thor thinks he’s protected Eve from the
ravages of Ragnarok, but there are forces in play even the gods can’t see.
When Thor arrives in Eve's next life, offering her everything she ever wanted
from Adam, and more -- eternity without death or rebirth, and the freedom to
live outside of her daughter's reach -- Eve is more than tempted. But can the
world survive with only Adam to protect it?

Solomon's Friend is actually my own very personal story of raising a son with Asperger's.  Kadie, the mother in the story, has all the doubts about herself that I have, and Solly, her son, shares many unique viewpoints with my own son.  Hobby, the cranky old hob who narrates much of the story, came from an often-ignored voice of my own-- a well of common sense and courage that I found within.  Instead of seeing my son as having a problem (which, let's face it, is still predominantly how society looks upon children who have any form of social or emotional "disorder") I took a new perspective, seeing him as whole and perfect in his own right, just the way Hobby sees Solly in the story.  Children with Asperger's often have high IQs and tend to think more in depth about little things most of us simply take for granted, a quality that makes them well suited for future jobs in science, engineering, medicine, and technology.  These are great qualities that offset their social rigidity and high levels of anxiety.  Other traits, like finding it easier to spy on people rather than interacting with them, and taking things perfectly literally, jive well with the kinds of personality traits we see in fairy creatures all across the literary world.  It only makes sense that fae would have a greater fascination with the world, and a greater respect for the rules of nature, than we humans do, and yet, just as a child on the spectrum would, I imagine them to find it difficult at times to identify with the rest of us oddly social humans.  Thus evolved the deep understanding between Solly and his friend, the hob.  I also think that parents of those on the spectrum carry a lot of guilt and self-blame for things that simply aren't in their control.  I created Hobby in an effort to help me correct that.  I wrote Solomon's Friend as a reminder to myself that I am making some of the right connections with my child, that I am loving him every moment of every day, and that there is still a bit of magic left in the world, especially in the curious and cautious mind of my child.  And maybe there's even a little left in me.

For the first time in her many lives, Eve would rather be anywhere but home. In 15th Century France,
Eve would have burned as a witch if it hadn’t been for the too-timely arrival of the Marquis DeLeon to
save her skin. But Eve didn’t ask to be rescued, and their hasty marriage is off to anything but a smooth
start. As tensions in the town grow and plague threatens, Ryam DeLeon knows if he and Eve cannot find
common ground, their first Christmas may be their last.

The Stories That Don’t Quite Fit, But Still Need Telling

The best part about writing novellas for the Fate of the Gods series, is that I’m able to flesh out some of the stories that don’t fit into the overarching narrative of the trilogy. In TEMPTING FATE, for instance, I got to explore Mia’s character and her relationships with both Adam and Eve. Now, in TAMING FATE, I get to delve a little bit more deeply into the story of Eve’s marriage to the Marquis DeLeon.

This story in particular felt like a necessary addition to the series, even though I knew early on that not much of it would fit into the novels themselves. We get so many hints of it in FORGED BY FATE and FATE FORGOTTEN, and there are so many references to this particular marriage in Eve’s very many lives, that I would have felt as though the books were incomplete if I didn’t address it more fully somehow.

Fortunately for me, my editor was just as curious about this lifetime as I was, so I knew we’d find a way. A novella seemed like a perfect compromise – it offered enough space to address the challenges of Eve and Ryam’s relationship, but in a way that complemented the series on the whole, rather than taking focus away from the major narratives presented in the trilogy. It’s a glimpse of the kind of trouble that Eve faced in even the best of her lives, and the lengths she was willing to go to protect the people she loved, and the family she founded.

But not only that, we also get an idea of exactly who this Marquis DeLeon was, and how his ideas and relationship with Eve shaped the House of Lions. It wasn’t enough, in my opinion, to hear Garrit talk about him in Eve’s present, or for Eve to dwell on him, even curse him for keeping his secrets. I wanted to see it – and I wanted readers to have a fully realized understanding of his character! And the best way to go about it, it seemed to me, was to give you all a peek at the world he lived in, and the struggles he faced both in marrying Eve, and at her side.

I hope you’ll enjoy getting to know Ryam DeLeon as much as I enjoyed writing him!
