Synopsis (Goodreads):
Caught in the twisted games of Fate...

Thirty years ago, Xevius defied his orders by refusing to assassinate the woman who would birth the future mother of the Veredian Titans. Today, his government demands that he atones for that failure by ridding the world of those children before they grow even more powerful. While on that mission, he feels the pull of the Tuning - the psionic call of his true mate. To complicate matters, his woman turns out to be the military leader and protector of the Veredians!

With tension rising between her people and the Xelixians, the last thing Kamala needs is a Korlethean assassin hunting the Veredian children. Attempting to eliminate him first should be an easy decision, except for the fact that he’s her soulmate. Swaying him to their side could be the key to solving many of their problems, but at what cost to him and his people?

As dire visions and prophecies multiply, Xevius is torn between his conscience, loyalty to his people, and his love for the woman who has captured his heart!
Thoughts on Hands of Fate: Oh, MAN, this was such a satisfying conclusion to the Veredians' story. It started with Amalia and wound through the surviving members of her family and came full circle by giving the assassin who defied orders all those years ago to let Amalia's mother live find his special someone.

That his special lady friend is Kamala isn't shocking. She's strong enough to have his back in a fight and not willing to back down against anyone or thing that threatens her family. Honestly, it's probably very good that Xevius had a cooler head than the leaders of his people and chose to observe his targets instead of blindly eliminating them. Because if he had hurt the Veredian children, I'm pretty sure there'd be no coming back from that.

For him or for her.

I not only enjoyed Xevius and Kamala's relationship (Xevius making vids for future children killlllled me, btw), but I loved loved loved how all the dangling threads to the Veredians' story played out. From an enslaved race of breeders to free women who found their place in the universe, Amalia and all the others made changes that affected many. And I genuinely enjoyed every moment of their story.
