The Fates Divide

Extended Synopsis

In the thrilling conclusion to the Carve the Mark duology, globally bestselling author Veronica Roth reveals the ultimate destinies of Cyra Noavek and Akos Kereseth. The Fates Divide is a richly imagined space opera of hope, resilience, and complex political intrigue, told through four stunning and distinct perspectives. From birth, the lives of Cyra and Akos have been strictly governed by the inescapable prophecies of the oracles. Akos is fated to die in service to Cyra’s family, a destiny that complicates his deep love for her.

The stakes reach a fever pitch when Cyra’s tyrannical father, Lazmet Noavek—long believed dead—suddenly returns to violently reclaim the Shotet throne. As Lazmet ignites a brutal and sweeping war across the galaxy, Cyra and Akos are pushed to their absolute limits to stop him. Cyra faces the agonizing possibility of having to take the life of her own father, while Akos realizes his fated sacrifice may be closer than ever. Through a series of brilliant, unforeseen twists, both must discover how fate truly defines them in ways neither could have ever expected.
