What if your choices were never yours to begin with?
When Ethan Cole discovers a mysterious diary that predicts death down to the exact second, he thinks it's a coincidence... until the predictions start coming true.
At first, he tries to stop them.
Then he tries to change them.
But the more he fights, the more the system adapts.
Because this isn't just a diary.
It's a machine.
A system designed to predict, control, and eliminate uncertainty-one decision at a time.
As Ethan digs deeper, he uncovers a hidden network of others just like him-people who have seen the future... and failed to escape it.
Among them is Mara Vance.
She doesn't try to fight the system.
She studies it.
And what she discovers is far more terrifying:
The system isn't predicting the future.
It's creating it.
Now, trapped inside a reality that rewrites itself with every choice, Ethan and Mara must confront a terrifying question:
If every outcome has already been calculated...
Is free will just an illusion?
But the deeper they go, the more reality begins to fracture-splitting into multiple possibilities, overlapping timelines, and outcomes that refuse to resolve.
And at the center of it all...
Is the one person who started everything.
A mind-bending psychological thriller that blends Black Mirror-style technology with the tension of Dark and the existential dread of Inception.
Warning: This book will make you question every decision you've ever made.
