The Mantis Variant - Book One

   (1 review)
Genres: Fantasy, Horror, Science Fiction
Sub-genres: Horror - Modern, Grimdark, Apocalyptic and Post-apocalyptic, Dystopian

In the dark future, an unlikely trio in a rundown metropolis are set on a path of unexpected heroism through horrifying trials. For Agrell, Dozi, and Ilya, the harrowing events bring growth through sacrifice and redemption. However, bizarre rituals and arcane arts are commonplace in the world of "The Mantis Variant," and tragedy and death are always close at hand.

"The Mantis Variant" takes place in a QueerNorm world, where no characters need to overcome anything related to their queerness, and no one faces hatred because of who they are.

Contains violence including cannibalism, child sacrifice, and some disturbing imagery.

We have a dystopia and brutal future where all the once world powers are in a long forgotten past. The Shifts are evolved humans which have a gland which give them incredible powers. The problem comes when humans realize this power can be stolen. You only have to kill a shift. It brings a moral dilemma. What are you willing to do for power?

The story has some vivid and memorable characters. It's an enjoyable read, but not for the faint of heart.
