The Demon Star - Hardcover
by Jesse Aragon (Author)
"Mythic, propulsive, and rich with characterization, The Demon Star is one hell of a debut." --Pierce Brown, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Red Rising series
On a ruined planet oppressed by eldritch gods, a rebel leader forces his son to become the vessel of a god-killing demon. Caught in a conflict spanning galaxies and millennia, two unlikely allies must decide whether to save the child, their world, or themselves. The otherworldly religious conflict of Dune, the cosmic strangeness of Gideon the Ninth, and the heart-pounding action of Red Rising converge in this horror-tinged epic science fantasy debut Ysira Naktis was a human sacrifice, destined for death. But unlike the thousands "harvested" each year, she did the unthinkable. She survived--and what she brought back with her could rewrite the fate of her civilization. When Ysira's son is chosen for demonic possession, she is faced with a choice: allow him to harness cosmic power at an unspeakable cost or doom millions to save him. She finds an unlikely ally in Brother Jacen Kheris, once a gifted exorcist, now an addict desperate for purpose. From a demon-haunted canyon to a starbound satellite, they must battle their way through cultists, aliens, and the gods themselves. The truths they unearth send them hurtling down a path that can only lead to apocalypse.Author Biography
