Lucien: The Child Without Breath

By BEVIN STUDSTILL

When Julia and Rafe Volmer adopt a silent, strange boy named Lucien, they believe they're saving a child. But as sacred texts begin to rewrite themselves, ancient psalms echo from the mouths of strangers, and priests fall silent or die in ritual horror, the truth emerges: Lucien is not a victim of darkness he is its scripture.

This is not a possession. It's a replacement.

Across Europe, churches burn. The Vatican fractures. And Lucien, breathless and untouched by divinity, becomes the center of a new gospel one that was never meant to be spoken aloud. As Julia's body begins to bear marks of inverted stigmata and Rafe is pulled deeper into the Vatican's forbidden archives, they must confront the unthinkable: What do you do when your child isn't a child, but a prophecy the Church tried to erase?

Lucien is a theological horror novel steeped in dread, mystery, and the terrifying silence between forgotten prayers.
