About The Severed Fates series: "The Severed Fates, a four-book Young Adult Dystopian Fantasy series by Jen Woodrum, takes place in a world where death dates are known. The first three books follow different characters in unique parts of the world that have each handled the death dates differently. In the fourth and final book - the EPIC FINALE - the characters from all three stories collide!"
