Prepare to die. His kingdom is near. Sixteen-year-old trans boy Benji is on the run from the cult that raised him—the fundamentalist sect that unleashed Armageddon and decimated the world’s population. Desperately, he searches for a place where the cult can’t get their hands on him, or more importantly, on the bioweapon they infected him with. But when cornered by monsters born from the destruction, Benji is rescued by a group of teens from the local Acheson LGBTQ+ Center, affectionately known as the ALC. The ALC’s leader, Nick, is gorgeous, autistic, and a deadly shot, and he knows Benji’s darkest secret: the cult’s bioweapon is mutating him into a monster deadly enough to wipe humanity from the earth once and for all. Still, Nick offers Benji shelter among his ragtag group of queer teens, as long as Benji can control the monster and use its power to defend the ALC. Eager to belong, Benji accepts Nick’s terms…until he discovers the ALC’s mysterious leader has a hidden agenda, and more than a few secrets of his own. A furious, queer debut novel about embracing the monster within and unleashing its power against your oppressors. Perfect for fans of Gideon the Ninth and Annihilation.

Volatile sex magic and the influence of a sinister new age cult clash in a sleepy mountain town infused with the occult. Nonbinary cult survivor Liv Hartwin escaped their hometown four years ago and vowed to never look back. After an attack in their apartment, Liv has a problem: a body that looks just like them, and no idea what to do with it. Also? They’re dying, and there’s no medical explanation. Their only option is to return to the supernatural. Sun Lake is perfect; steeped in urban mythology and old, real magic—and housing the same new age cult that claims to channel angels.

Liv expects to be turned away after knocking on their door, but the case piques Sloane’s interest.

As they race against the clock and the cult that will stop at nothing to get Liv back, the trio falls deeper into the spell. The lines between lust and love blur, and at the end of it they might not be able to let go of each other, or the bond they’ve created.
