The Cold Light of Fate
(2025)(The fifth book in the Jovian Universe series)
A novel by Kim Catanzarite
Look to the stars and you shall see where the cold light of fate marks her destiny.
Svetlana has sacrificed everything to bring her granddaughter, Natasha, back to Jovian Earth. But as soon as she arrives, her daughter, Evan, reasserts an impossible claim—that she is The Lost Sister, the prophesied savior who alone can prevent the planet’s destruction. Svetlana wants nothing more than to leave this world behind, but fate has other plans.
A relentless terror looms: the Moon Children, an extraterrestrial force, threatens to make Jovian Earth uninhabitable. At the same time, the Jovian Queen is dying, and her second-in-command, Miranda, is prepared to use force—an unthinkable act among the peaceful Jovians—to seize control and set a violent course for the future.
With tensions rising and time running out, humans, clones, and Jovians must put aside their differences and unite against the coming dystopian storm. But the battle for survival will take more than a unified front. The unforeseen, too, has a part to play.
In this epic series finale, the fate of a world teeters on the edge of destruction. Can Svetlana accept Evan’s truth before it’s too late? And when the cold light of fate shines upon them all, who will rise—and who will fall?
