A riveting re-telling of the classical 'Beauty and the Beast' intertwined with Japanese folklore and symbology. A Forgery of Fate takes readers into the realm of Ai'Long; a cavernous underwater Kingdom, ruled by Dragons and merfolk. Truyan Saigas finds herself betrothed to the enigmatic Elang'anmi after she falls into his precious garden, claiming her as his own. The half-human, half-dragon's heart does not beat, and he requires Tru's forgery skills to paint a vision of the future, to overthrow the Dragon King. However, demons and a tirade of deception threatens to ruin their bargain; and love begins to blossom even without the treasured pearl.
Elizabeth Lim has yet failed to impress me with her enchanting world-building. Weaving mythical beings, with deities, and the enigmatic prophesisation through The Sight; the narrative was palatable and creative in every essence. Not to mention the binaries of characters crafted for our protagonist that truly do resemble the Beauty and the Beast vibes.
