Choose Your Path and Call It Fate: Book 1 by Nami_Roland
Fandoms: Tortall - Tamora Pierce
13 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
Thom and Alanna of Trebond spent their lives chafing against their fate. Thom, his father’s heir and only son, must go to the royal palace and become a knight. Alanna, forbidden from taking up arms because of her sex, is destined to become a noble lady in the convent of the Goddess. Never one to accept defeat, Alanna devises a daring plan: the twins will secretly switch places and take their future into their own hands.
But the Gods have other plans. After casting their future in the fire, the twins’ teacher Maude declares that both children’s destinies lie at the palace, and that their paths are theirs to forge from there. Alanna, allowed to chase her dreams at last, is elated. Thom, ripped away from his, is less enthused.
At the palace, the twins will make friends and enemies alike. They will learn skills and endure hardships and find strengths they never expected within themselves and each other. And with the arrival of the King’s handsome and charming nephew, the sorcerer Roger of Conté, they will discover that knighthood is not the only path available for young nobles at the palace.
If only Alanna didn’t despise the man with everything in her.

The Improprieties of Roger of Conté by SpaceWall for crystalmist

Summary
Roger discovers that Roald is intentionally using him to limit and undermine the power of other mages. He is, in a word, displeased to have been out-maneuvered.
--
It was the first lie Roger had ever known Roald to tell, and it was over such a small thing – the idiocy of the second son of an irrelevant border fief – but that was precisely what made it ruinous. If Roald had the willpower to lie to Roger about this, what else was he lying about?

Summary
It started with a ring he picked up one day prior to All Hallow’s Eve in the Corus marketplace – a gold ring embedded with a black opal that shone delightfully in the sun, and warmed his pale skin. He checked it with his Gift and it gleamed with no sense of magic, but he was compelled to it regardless.
Roger had always been good with little trinkets and embedding his life in them.
Unfortunately, Thom was unaware of this crucial bit of knowledge, and Alanna was traveling.
