The City of the Gods by Jason A. Patterson When the god of free will declares war on the gods of fate and destiny, the battleground isn't the heavens; it's Earth. And the weapon is a child. Chelise never asked to be chosen. Struggling through the fractures of a broken family, she suddenly finds herself at the heart of a cosmic wager. Is life ruled by destiny, or can it truly be shaped by choice? Guided by guardian angels and hunted by forces beyond her understanding, Chelise is thrust into a dangerous journey where every decision carries divine weight. As gods watch from above, some rooting for her, others plotting her downfall, she becomes humanity's test case in the eternal struggle between chaos and control, good and evil. Epic, thought-provoking, and deeply human, The City of the Gods is a gripping tale of faith, courage, and the timeless battle between fate and free will.
