Book overview
What if luck was never random?
In a world that looks exactly like ours, seven ordinary lives are altered by a moment they barely understand. At first, the changes feel like coincidence: a sudden fluctuation that leaves the air charged for no clear reason, a wound that closes faster than time should allow, a thought that appears fully formed in a mind where it does not belong. Small things. Easy to dismiss.
Each of them senses it differently. Some feel sharpened. Some unsettled. Some quietly afraid of what happens when they stop paying attention.
What binds them is not destiny, but imbalance.
As the weeks pass, the patterns become impossible to ignore. The world no longer responds only to action, but to emotion. Distance loses its certainty. Knowledge arrives without invitation. And among them is one whose ability is far more dangerous than the rest—the power to tilt probability itself, quietly guiding outcomes without ever appearing to interfere.
At first, control feels like caution. Then it feels like necessity. And finally, it begins to feel deserved.
The others are not passive witnesses. Each must decide how much imbalance they are willing to tolerate, what it means to learn control, and what price they are willing to pay for it. Because when fortune stops pretending to be neutral, trust fractures, loyalty becomes conditional, and every choice leaves a mark.
When Fortune Chooses Sides is a grounded, slow-burn speculative novel about hidden abilities, fractured trust, and the human cost of bending the world—even slightly—out of shape.
This is the first book in an ongoing speculative fiction series.
