How to Kill a God with a Kiss
by Magpie Khan
In a village that feeds its sins to a hungry god, love is the ultimate transgression.
Kaneki, a lonely artist who draws his nightmares, only observes the dark rituals from his attic window. Ren, the stoic butcher's son, is bound by blood to serve as the village's sacrificial blade. Their worlds are not meant to touch.
But when the ancient Debt Collector demands a new offering, Ren makes a defiant choice: he will be the champion who dies in place of the chosen boy the strange, quiet artist who sees the monsters no one else will acknowledge.
Thrown together in the shadow of the execution stone, a desperate kiss becomes a lethal spark. It tangles their souls into a bond that the village calls abomination and the hungry god calls... delicious.
Now, their forbidden love is a beacon in the dark. To save each other, they must flee a world of monstrous traditions, face down the psychic wounds of a broken earth, and learn to weaponize the very things that mark them as targets: Kaneki's art, Ren's sacrifice, and the devastating, world-rewriting power of a love that refuses to be silenced.
This is a dark fantasy epic where the most powerful magic isn't found in spellbooks, but in the touch of a lover's hand, and where two boys, branded as anomalies, must learn that to save the world, they first have to make it bleed.
"A symphony of scars, both beautiful and brutal. Magpie Khan weaves a tale where love is not just a feeling, but a revolutionary act."
