About The Book:

Chosen by Fate 2: The Celestial Tragedy

Our lives are nothing more than a complication of events. Every moment, every action, and every decision, all add up to form who we are and how we lived. But some moments are more important than others. Moments like the death of a loved one, the decision to go after their killer, and what you do when you finally hunt him down, all come together to define who we are.

In this epic saga, Thaddeus tries to define who he is as he goes through pivotal moments of his life. Would he remain the same or would he change? And if he does, what would he become? Determined to step out of the path that his father had followed, Thaddeus tries to find his own path in the dark cold world that snatched his sister’s life.
