Exclusive cover reveal: 'Strange Fates' by Marlene Perez

Check out the cover of Marlene Perez's upcoming Strange Fates, the first in a new adult urban fantasy series that blends magic and Greek mythology in an alternate Minneapolis. Here, Marlene gives us a sneak peek of the Nyx Fortuna series, which kicks off on March 5:

Marlene: In Strange Fates, Nyx has been hunted his entire life by the three Sisters of Fate who murdered his mother — who just happen to be his own aunts. His mother was the fourth and forgotten Fate, Lady Fortuna, who had dared to defy her sisters so that her son might live.

Fed up and out for revenge, Nyx comes to Minneapolis following a tip that his aunts have set up a business there. His goal — to bring down his mother's killers and retrieve the thread of fate that has trapped him in the body of a 20-year-olds for hundreds of years, leaving him unable to age or die. After a bar room fight that leaves him stabbed and what should have been mortally wounded, the lovely and mysterious Elizabeth Abernathy helps him get away, but soon he suspects that Elizabeth has an agenda of her own.

The series continues with Dark Descent and Fortune's Favor. In Dark Descent, Nyx must find his cousin or the one he loves will suffer at the hands of his aunts, the Fates. He must journey into the underworld where his cousin is in thrall to Hecate's dark magic. Saving his cousin might set free Hecate and start a war involving both mortals and magicians. In Fortune's Favor, Nyx must stop Hecate, even if it means joining forces with the Fates.
