In a city obsessed with knowing what lies ahead, whispers of a mysterious figure ripple through the streets-a man who claims he can predict your exact cause of death. He doesn't ask questions. He doesn't take money. He simply looks at you, and tells you your final moment. No one knows who he is. No one knows where he came from. But what he says… always comes true. Eighteen-year-old Vera Harper has never believed in fate. She's grounded, skeptical, and fiercely protective of her best friend, Evelyn Gray. But when Evelyn visits this so-called "Fate Teller" and receives a chilling prediction-drowning, in a place she's never been-everything changes. The girls vow to defy it. They stay away from water at all costs: no pools, no lakes, not even the rain. But something is wrong. Everywhere Evelyn goes, one thing or another always manages to haunt her. Strangers make offhand comments that cut too deep. A sudden family trip to a remote lake house-somewhere Evelyn has never been-forces the two into a confrontation with the inevitable. Vera becomes convinced this prediction isn't a coincidence… it's a plan. As she dives into the dark origins of the Fate Teller, Vera begins to see a terrifying pattern. These aren't just predictions-they're executions. Someone is watching. Someone is orchestrating each death with chilling precision. And just when she thinks everything is finally over, she receives a letter in her mailbox. It wasn't a message. It was a prediction. Leadstart Publishing is a leading publishing house from India.
