Horns and Bark: May Gods Be Anguished: Volume 1

Born of sin and carved from stone and bark, Zethos has never known the warmth of flesh or the mercy of the gods who cursed him. Forsaken for the crimes of his ancestors, he walks a world that fears him, kept going only by the voice that calls to him in his dreams.When a strange blue mist sweeps across the land and soldiers hunt the innocent in the Emperor's name, Zethos is driven from hiding and into a conflict he never wanted. A mysterious girl, a forest of ancient secrets, and a prophecy older than the empire all pull him toward a truth he isn't ready to face.As the line between divinity and corruption blurs, Zethos must decide whether he'll become the monster everyone believes he is... or something far more dangerous.Horns and Bark is a dark fantasy of myth, guilt, and survival-where gods lie, legends bleed, and a single cursed boy may decide the fate of a dying world.
