Echo of Fate: A Saga of Fate and Fire (Book 1)by Ian HughesWhat if memory could be stolen-not by time, but by gods?In a world where Norse mythology collides with modern archaeology, Dr. Harper Lane unearths more than relics-she awakens a forgotten war between fate and fire. Alongside her companions-a brilliant linguist with a cursed past and a sardonic academic-Harper stumbles upon a torc buried in the crypts beneath Véornir. It should have been myth. It wasn't.As ancient forces stir and the Veil of Aesir closes in, Harper must reckon with burning visions, stolen histories, and a destiny that demands blood. With every step, the torc tightens its grip, binding her not to power-but to memory, to sacrifice, and to a storm older than gods.Set across Shetland, Norway, and Iceland, Echo of Fate is the first book in an epic trilogy blending mythic fantasy, queer love, and apocalyptic reckoning. It is a story for those who resist silence, for the ones whose scars remember.One torc binds. One torc breaks. One torc burns. Ian Hughes is a Scottish writer whose voice blends raw truth with lyrical depth. Born amidst hardship and raised in the grey edges of society, Ian learned early how to survive storms-both within and around. Their memoir, Storm Child, is a testament to that journey: unflinching, poetic, and fiercely human.Ian is also the author of the Echo of Fate fantasy series-a mythic saga of memory, fire, and resistance-and The Elijah Hall Chronicles, a collection of historical fiction vignettes set during the age of sail.When not writing, Ian can be found wandering wild coastlines, collecting forgotten stories, and honouring the quiet resilience it takes to live, remember, and speak.🌐 📸 Instagram: @ihughes88
