In Defiance of Destiny Maylea is a young noblewoman in the city of Yane, whose future was mapped out on the day she was born-how she would live, what she would do, who she would marry... But Maylea is not content to blindly consign herself to destiny. And when Swan, a freelance diplomat who is supposed to be dead, arrives at her father's estate, Maylea begins to realize that her true destiny might be writ larger across the stars than anyone ever suspected. Exalted: A Shadow Over Heaven's Eye is the fifth in an unlimited series of novels based on the hugely successful Exalted property.
