Overview
A darkly whimsical, surreal fantasy of gods, demons, and the secrets they leave behind. Eight-year-old Nova Franklin is cursed-at least, that's what her family believes. Her mother vanished when she was born, her father died of cancer last year, and she alone can see the demons that stalk the edges of the world, hungry for her strange power. If she can just keep her head down, maybe they'll forget she exists. But in the strange little town of Penstemon, California, demons are multiplying. Ashbel D'Ignis, a representative of the god Danakas, comes to investigate. His search leads him to a ruin in the forest the locals call The God Eater, a stone labyrinth at the heart of the demon plague. Who built it? What god was it meant to devour? And why does it feel alive? As Ashbel digs deeper, every sign points back to Nova-her curse, her power, her connection to a long-forgotten crime: the murder of a goddess. To save her, Ashbel must unravel a conspiracy rooted in divine corruption, where even the gods themselves may not survive what stirs beneath The God Eater. Blending surreal Americana with dark whimsy, this standalone mythopunk mystery will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end. Fans of The Hazelwood, Piranesi, and Gods of Jade and Shadow won't want to miss this darkly enchanting tale.
