The Duck That Dreams Fire

Book 9. They made him forget his name.They made gods out of monsters.Now he's burning their temples down.In the dead cities of the Autarchy, religion and technology have fused into nightmare spectacle. The faithful kneel to a new idol-Three Heads, a three-faced rabbit-god that hunts the innocent for sport, broadcast as worship.But one man still remembers the prayer they tried to erase.Chungho, survivor of the Mantra Program, walks through the ruins carrying a sentence small enough to fit between heartbeats: Lord, deliver us from evil.When he discovers the broadcast comes from a temple built on human suffering, he breaks in to end it-and faces the creature that made belief into a weapon.Every battle awakens the wings carved into his back, and with each fight he risks becoming the thing he hunts.The Duck That Dreams Fire is a dark, poetic thriller about faith twisted into propaganda, revenge lit like scripture, and the fragile hope that something human still lives beneath the ashes.
