Sovereign Consequence

In a world where faith feeds monsters, mercy is the deadliest sin

When healer Galeon Rhys is bitten by a creature long thought extinct, the parasite that governs his life goes silent—and the rings around his irises ignite into an impossible, forbidden violet. In a theocracy where ring color determines purity, power, and the right to live, such a transformation should be a miracle. Instead, it’s a death sentence.

As Galeon hides his condition with the help of Enni Drah, an apothecary losing her own battle against decline, they uncover the truth buried beneath centuries of doctrine about the Tetherlings that feed on human faith.

But Galeon’s transformation comes with new abilities that make him the most dangerous heretic alive. And the Sovereign Consecrant, starving for power, has already sensed the anomaly in her flock.

To save the innocent, Galeon must decide whether to expose the truth… or become the very monster the temple fears.
