The Fates Divide

The Fates Divide is a space opera, with the emphasis on "Soap Opera" rather than space. The setting may be a distant galaxy, but the characters are primarily youths concerned with the exact same things youths are concerned with today.
Some parts of the world believe in oracles. Others do not. One side also wants the oracle prophecies made public. This, however, leads to people trying to tempt fate. Alas, we find out there were some babies switched at births that somehow manage to "beat" the prophecy by meeting it. There are wars and battles, and people killing other family members in the name of planetary peace. There is also political drama, with the urbanized planets treating the oracle-believing snow-world as a backwater. It makes for a nice dose of teenage drama and modern politics all set in space.
