Double YA Fantasy Launch
Start off your new year with a riveting new YA fantasy! Books of Wonder is kicking off 2023 with a thrilling event featuring two highly-anticipated new YA releases: “A Ruinous Fate” by Kaylie Smith and “Song of Silver, Flame Like Night” by Amélie Wen Zhao!
About “A Ruinous Fate”
Illustros is a cursed realm ruled by the ruthless Gods of Fate, and no one understands the Fates’ wrath more than Calla. Blessed with unspeakable powers that terrify even the most dangerous witches and fae, Calla hides her forbidden magic in shame and fear that one wrong touch could send her to her death. When tempted with the chance to change her fate, Calla leaps at the opportunity... but soon learns that changing your destiny has dire consequences!
About “Song of Silver, Flame Like Night”
Lan’s home country has been colonized. Now, she spends her days scavenging for food and memories of her elusive past. Zen is a practitioner of long-lost magic, who must live in hiding lest the colonizers recognize him as the threat he is. Thrown together by fate, they must cooperate to liberate their homeland. But as their powers grow, they may have to protect their home from not only the invaders but from themselves.
*One book may be brought from home to be signed for every book purchased at the event.
About Kaylie Smith
Kaylie Smith is a writer and lover of all things fantasy. She grew up in Louisiana where she frequently haunted bookstores and practiced her craft. After college, she decided to pursue her life-long dream of becoming an author, but when she isn’t writing or reading, she can be found at home with her menagerie of animals, fussing over her houseplants, or annoying people about astrology.

In her spare time, she loves to travel and spend time with her family in China, where she’s determined to walk the rivers and lakes of old just like the practitioners in her novels do.
