The Destiny Gun Arc 1: The Living Draft (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798994232361)

When collector Aiden Cross discovers a mysterious gun bound to the Earth's ley lines, he learns that every shot rewrites reality-and leaves a permanent mark on the world.

The Destiny Gun isn't just a relic. Paired with a living Codex that records every change, it's a weapon capable of bending the fabric of what should be fixed. The first time Aiden tests it, the day shivers. A small, undeniable change blooms across the weave of reality. The lesson arrives with a chill: every use accrues a cost.

But power never goes unnoticed.

The Order of Destiny emerges from the shadows with their iron smile and a warning: history survives because someone tends it. The Primordial Sect whispers of restoration. The Watchers observe without intervention-which may be the most dangerous response of all. And then there's Sobacco, a mirror-self birthed by the Gun's refusal to leave clean edges, who questions which choices are truly Aiden's.

As Aiden and his companions probe deeper into the mystery, they uncover a pattern of erased wielders-names that don't end so much as vanish, lives subtracted from the ledger to preserve the story that needed telling. When Atlantis begins to stabilize into reality, returning not as myth but as proof, Aiden realizes the seals aren't locks. They're narratives. Frames deciding which truths are allowed to exist.

At the Nexus of Fate, he'll face an impossible choice: enforce the frame and keep the world coherent, or swing the gate wide and let excluded truths flood back in. But Aiden refuses the cleanliness of either path. His shot will be the most dangerous thing possible-a splice that acknowledges what was lost without rewriting every page at once.

The draft is alive. The world just bent. And the next line is theirs to write.

Perfect for fans of The Dresden Files, Kate Daniels, and Neverwhere-urban fantasy readers who crave reality-bending stakes, philosophical depth, and characters who refuse easy answers.
