Destiny is a novel about how human beings are destined to break away from the ones we love, but then mysteriously, maybe even miraculously run into them again.

Atila and Damla were teenage lovers. They haven’t run into each other for nearly 50 years. But now Atila, a distinguished professor, travels back to Ritskos for a conference, the strange city where he grew up, met, and fell in love with Damla. Their new encounter will turn into a maddening maze of out-of-control events.

As Atila prepares for his conference, an inner voice, and the memories of his years growing up in Ritskos, take over making the reader wonder if what is being told is even reliable. That strange voice establishes a bridge between the facts of the story we are told, and its mythical relevance. And this is how we learn that myth, embodied in a voice, is also a mirror of our destiny, leading us to think that any encounter, new or refreshed, is but a revelation.
