Kyle Michaels was nobody. A night-shift custodian at a city hospital, invisible by practice and by nature, a man who had spent thirty-four years learning not to be seen. Then one evening he followed a yellow line in a sub-basement corridor, and the thing waiting at the end of it took him.
That was fifteen years ago.
He has been inside the suit ever since-sealed within an incubator that moves him through time and crisis, arriving before tragedies, preventing what can be prevented, and moving on before anyone can ask who he is. He communicates in single words at significant cost. He witnesses everything. He has never been able to stay.
Until now.
The suit has returned him to the city where it took him, and for the first time in fifteen years, the pull toward the next displacement doesn't come. Something in this city is broken - a fracture in the fabric of ordinary reality, spreading through the eastern sectors, visible to anyone willing to look - and Kyle has been brought back to face it.
He is not alone.
Alma Mendoza has been building the record for twenty years. Eight years old the night of the taking, a witness behind wire-threaded glass, she watched Kyle's face in the moment before the seal was completed and has spent her life documenting what followed. Her blog has eight hundred thousand subscribers. She has been waiting for him to come back.
Detective Raymond Keene pulled the wrong thread on a routine case and found himself staring at twenty years of evidence no official framework could explain. He opened a case file under his own name and began to build toward the truth.
Maximillion Crane runs a private infrastructure company from a financial district office and monitors a city he has spent forty years trying to make legible. He has been carrying something on his left side since he was eight years old-a scar, a signal, a piece of something that has been pointing toward its source his entire life. He does not know what it is. He has always known it matters.
These four people have been approaching the same convergence from different directions. Now they are close enough to see each other.
The Destiny is a literary science fiction novel about calling and cost, about the difference between sacrifice and loss, and about what happens when the ordinary world asks everything of an ordinary man-and the ordinary man cannot perform the indifference.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
