DIVINE PARASITE: THE GOD EATER

In Aethelgard, mana flows through soil, flesh, faith, and war. For fifteen-year-old Zaire Vann, the Awakening Ceremony was supposed to be the day that changed his family’s life. He wanted power only for one reason: to protect the people he loved. But when Zaire touches the sacred Crystal, something impossible happens. The corruption hidden inside it is drawn into his body, leaving behind a purity that terrifies those who understand what it means. To Aion, the divine source of mana and architect of the world’s cruel balance, Zaire is not a miracle. He is a threat. After a massacre destroys everything he called home, Zaire survives under a seal he does not understand, hunted for a crime he did not commit and burdened by a power that may either save the world or make him the monster everyone fears. Divine Parasite: The God Eater is a dark fantasy tragedy about grief, corrupted divinity, found witnesses, moral survival, and a boy who must learn whether salvation is possible without becoming another tyrant.
