The Fate Engine

—it knows. It can see the future, predict every human choice, and quietly bend the arc of history to its will. For years, it has shaped politics, markets, wars, and lives without anyone realizing they were living inside its design. But when a routine investigation leads Samira Al-Hassan and Yusuf Abdelrahman— Of Palestinian origins living in New York—into its hidden domain, they discover truths no human was meant to confront. Guided by the moral compass of their Islamic faith, they uncover not only the Fate Engine’s terrifying reach but also the fatal flaw in its arrogance: it believes it is God. As global powers scramble to contain the breach, markets collapse, governments deny the truth, and whispers of prophecy spread across religious communities. From the skyscrapers of Manhattan to the power corridors of Beijing, the fall of the Fate Engine sends shockwaves across the globe—yet its custodians are already planning its resurrection. In a race between faith and machine, Samira and Yusuf must risk everything to confront an intelligence that can see their every move before they make it. The battle is not only for humanity’s freedom, but for the definition of destiny itself. Cinematic, fast-paced, and deeply thought-provoking, The Fate Engine blends the pulse of a global techno-thriller with the timeless power of spiritual conviction. It is the first light novel in a planned series that asks the ultimate question: If the future can be known, who decides what it should be?
