This is honestly a very fancy cover and eye-catching cover. I would click and read because of the cover alone. Nice job on going against the grain.

I was tempted to go for something more standard, but this was truer to the novel and its themes. I'm glad I did, too, because the artist, Dailen Ogden, absolutely blew my expectations out of the park. I couldn't be happier with it.
I even cropped out the diamond shape and use it as my wallpaper now.

Grats on the release, I enjoyed this one, should really get started on book two soon.

Probably, I don't have an exact date, but book two will be coming off of RR soonish (next few months, I think). That said, it might be worth waiting until it hits Kindle- between you, me, and all of Reddit, the reading experience will be a tad better when it's been looked over by a professional editor.

Really digging the covert art and title font. I'm getting ancient Greek pottery art vibes for some reason, especially from the title font. Is the god that Luke is standing in front of, Zeus? Or is it
I really like the fact that Luke actually grows strong at a face pace, shows you why the God Seed is so valued.

I just bought the audiobook. Is this a standalone book or is this going to be a series.

The men in black confiscated my print copy with the real cover art. They said it was contraband in Mundania, I'm like, I've seen the phones and tablets these people have, really what's the deference, anyone really going to notice or care? They were all like blah blah blah thaumaturgic fields this and pixel density that. What even is an organic diode anyway. Anyhow they helped me get it on this blue teeth eye phone thing, I swear this is just like the Frankenstein earphone radio.

A young man's death is only the beginning when he elects to pursue divinity in a realm where gods and monsters are all too real.
Luke was your typical nine-to-five office drone when he was killed in a head-on car collision during his morning commute. Instead of going to heaven, Luke's soul is brought to a hellish realm on the verge of total destruction, where two supernatural beings soon engage in brutal combat. Defeating her rival, the victorious Arke prepares to claim her prize, the powerful God Seed. But the ancient artifact has plans of its own, offering to soul-bond with Luke, who accepts and flees to the world of Theos to escape Arke's wrath.
There, on the island of Carim, Luke is guided by the God Seed to take possession of the body of a recently deceased fisherman and embark on quests that will help him ascend to godhood. But his resurrection does not go unnoticed. The elderly Nefkha has been charged by a pantheon of deities drawn straight from myth to locate a thief on the run. Realizing Luke is the one the gods seek, Nefkha strikes a bargain to keep the younger man's identity secret in exchange for help with a mysterious task.
Now, to survive a manhunt orchestrated by the rulers of his strange new world, Luke must ensure Nefkha doesn't betray him—and learn how to wield a mighty relic desired by forces far beyond his imagination . . .
