When graphic designer Celia Harper ducks into a shadowy antique shop to escape the rain, she doesn't expect to leave with a mysterious ancient coin-or a power that will change her life forever. In T. E. W. Webb's chilling new novel, The Coincidence, a simple flip of this cursed artifact turns dark thoughts into deadly consequences.

At first, Celia justifies the coin's influence-bad people, minor justice. A rude barista, a selfish neighbor, a corrupt executive. Natural accidents. Nothing she can be blamed for. But as her sense of justice sharpens into something colder and more dangerous, Celia crosses lines she can't uncross.

Then the deaths hit closer to home.

When tragedy strikes someone she loves, Celia is forced to confront the truth: she isn't in control-the coin is. And she's not the only one who wants it.

Hunted by the enigmatic Arbiters of Fate, an ancient secret society bent on restoring "balance" to humanity through mass death, Celia becomes a reluctant antihero in a supernatural war. But with every death she causes, she slips further from the person she once was-and closer to the entity the coin wants her to become.
