Nicholas Nikita
Description
"Tormented by his parents' agonizing final moments, a grieving boy trudges across a barren, sun-scorched land, his only company the fragile heartbeat
...
of his newborn brother strapped to his chest. Unwilling to accept his loss, he sets his sights on the home of the gods—a distant mountain shrouded in mystery—seeking a way to undo death itself. But the grief-stricken path to the mountain is also a violent exile into adulthood, and the mountain hides secrets the gods are unwilling to share. Not without sacrifice. In his harrowing debut, Nikita crafts an incendiary tale that evolves from raw, fragmented prose into a structured and unrelenting narrative, mirroring the growth of its young protagonists. Set in the primal shadows of prehistory, Logos immerses readers in a brutal and morally ambiguous world, forcing them to confront the very foundations of humanity. Both haunting and profound, this gripping novel lingers long after the final page is turned, daring readers to question what it means to endure—and to hope—when all seems lost."--Amazon.
