Unpredictable Paths - Paperback

by Daniel Skupski (Author)

When I couldn't make my dreams into reality, I found other dreams. -The Cistern Chronicles, Chapter 15, Verse 20

In 4th-century Rome, Cassandra leaves behind a common life to become a skeptical, pragmatic counselor to Emperor Constantine. Karen, a physician from a lowly background, fights in 2024 to establish her place in a modern medical landscape. Their journeys find an echo in a restrictive 24th century, where the archaeologist Magdalene uncovers ancient writings that threaten a powerful Church, while Jenny, a structural engineer, battles a global famine with the precision of science. Born into male-dominated societies, these four women must navigate political upheaval and professional barriers to protect what they value.

From the courts of Rome to a future on the brink of collapse, Unpredictable Paths spans two millennia, exploring the cost of seeking influence and the invisible ties that bind human experience across the centuries.
