The Demon Star
Jacen was once the most gifted exorcist of his generation, a high-ranked priest in the Church that rules his desert city-state. He’s now a disgraced addict, and what remains of his faith is shattered when he stumbles upon the skull of a dead god—and a conspiracy to kill them all.
Ysira was sacrificed to the gods, and survived only thanks to the forbidden power of the parasitic demon in her brainstem. Bitter and self-sufficient, she wants little to do with Jacen. Until she learns that her estranged son has been chosen to become the vessel of a god-killing demon.
Thrust into a conflict that spans beyond the stars, Jacen and Ysira form a reluctant partnership, poised to save their world—or conquer it.
