The second I stepped through the doors of Gray Wolf Academy, my world disintegrated. Here, time is malleable. It can be manipulated, shifted. Changed. And for those of us who Trip—or travel through time—the possibilities are infinite and perilous.
Now my life is caught in the secrets of everyone around me. Arthur, the eccentric billionaire who rules this school. Killian, who could be the only honest person here…or the biggest liar. And Braxton, magnetic, gorgeous, and unfathomable. The only thing I trust about him is our electric connection.
Whether we’re Tripping through Renaissance Italy or thieving from a ball in Regency England, my life’s become a web of lies and strange truths. And beneath the surface is an elaborate puzzle, filled with cryptic symbols and priceless treasures scattered across history—all somehow connected to my strange ability to see through time.
But Arthur has a dangerously ambitious agenda. And if what my dad taught me is true, I’m not just a threat to everyone at Gray Wolf.
…I’m a threat to time itself.
“Perhaps Napoleon was right when he said history is a set of lies agreed upon.”
Alyson Noël. Ruling Destiny (Kindle Location 3421). Kindle Edition.
Ruling Destiny amps up the tripping, the art, the secrets, and even the spice and I adored this second installment in this gorgeously imaginative series.
A lot of times with book series the second book can become the “filler” however, with Ruling Destiny I think I actually liked it even more than Stealing Infinity which is so rare for me. Alyson Noel really dives head first into the adventure and suspense in this one while still moving the story forward.
It is also hard not to spoil anything for the series as a whole, so I’ll tread lightly here but my heart breaks for Braxton in this. I’m not 100% sure why since every character has their own share of lies and secrets, but I felt like Braxton’s heart constantly got trampled on and I adore him and all the pieces we see of him.
Tasha is still trying to figure everything out in this installment between the boys, Arthur, Elodie, friendships, Song… there are just so many secrets and deceptions to wade through. However, we do get a lot more insight to some secrets and witness some beautiful time traveling. I am definitely excited to see where the third book goes.
