Ryan Leone Books Novels & Stories

The book 'Ryan's Destiny' is this wild emotional rollercoaster that hooked me from the first chapter. It follows Ryan, this introverted artist who stumbles into a hidden world where people’s fates are literally woven into tapestries by mysterious beings called Weavers. The twist? Ryan discovers his tapestry is blank—no destiny at all—which throws him into this existential crisis while also making him a target for factions that either want to exploit or erase him. The way the author blends urban fantasy with deep philosophical questions about free will is just chef’s kiss. I couldn’t put it down because every chapter added layers—like how Ryan’s friendship with a rogue Weaver, Lira, forces him to confront whether creating his own path is a gift or a curse. And the climax? Heart-stopping. The book leaves you questioning whether destiny’s even real or if we’re all just making it up as we go.

What really got me was the subtle commentary on modern life. Ryan’s blank tapestry mirrors how millennials and Gen Z often feel—untethered by traditional expectations but also paralyzed by too many choices. The scenes where he battles 'Fatekeepers' (these creepy bureaucrats of destiny) felt like a metaphor for societal pressures. Also, the prose is gorgeous—descriptions of the tapestries shimmering with starlight? Pure magic. I finished it and immediately loaned my copy to a friend, which I never do. It’s that kind of book.
