The Chronicles of Fate

Chronicles of Fate is a gripping YA dystopian/speculative fiction series by author K.B. Riley. The first book, Marked by Fate, is currently in production. Riley is actively seeking literary representation.

The Countdown Control Agency

In a world where every newborn is marked with a mysterious countdown clock on their arm, the Chronicles of Fate series follows the lives of those who are born with these marks, their significance unknown. The marks, glowing in various colors, count down to the exact moment when an individual meets their destined soulmate. But as the series unfolds, it becomes clear that the countdown marks are not just about love; they are tied to a deeper, more sinister purpose.

​

The Countdown Control Agency (CCA) was established following the birth of Christopher Hawthorne, the first child to be born with a countdown mark. The CCA, a shadowy and powerful government agency, was ostensibly created to understand the phenomenon of the countdown marks and to protect those who bear them. However, it quickly becomes apparent that the CCA's true motives are far more complex and darker than they appear. The agency monitors, manipulates, and controls individuals with marks, using them as tools in a larger, hidden agenda that seeks to maintain societal order by any means necessary.

​

The series explores the tension between fate and freedom, as characters strive to break free from the CCA's oppressive control. As they uncover the truth about the countdown marks, the characters must confront the harsh realities of their world, challenging the very foundations of their society and the roles they are forced to play.
