The Chronoliths by Robert Charles Wilson

In a world where mysterious, towering monuments appear overnight, heralding future victories of a warlord named Kuin, society is thrown into chaos as people grapple with the implications of these time-defying structures. The story follows Scott Warden, a man whose life becomes intertwined with the enigma of the Chronoliths, as he navigates a landscape of fear, prophecy, and the potential for a self-fulfilling future. As Scott delves deeper into the mystery, he must confront the possibility that the future is not as immutable as it seems, and that human agency may yet play a role in shaping what is to come.
