Authors Amanda Foody and C.L. Herman have released a new fantasy novel titled 'A Fate So Cold', following their successful YA duology 'All of Us Villains'. The story centers on two teen magicians, Dom and Ellery, who are chosen to save their world from
an impending Winter. Despite their growing relationship, the prophecy dictates a tragic end, as one must slay the other to fulfill their destinies. The authors explore the 'Chosen One' trope, adding a unique twist by introducing a 'Chosen Two' dynamic, which allows for a deeper exploration of character relationships and destiny.

By focusing on a 'Chosen Two', the authors provide a nuanced exploration of power, responsibility, and personal sacrifice. This approach not only appeals to fans of fantasy but also resonates with readers interested in complex character dynamics and moral dilemmas. The collaboration between Foody and Herman showcases the potential for co-authored works to bring diverse ideas and storytelling techniques to the genre.
