The God-Bird

Content : A dark, violent psychological tale of trauma, resilience, and vengeance. A masterful coming-of-age novel.

An island. Ten clans. Every ten years, a competition decides which clan will dominate the island for the coming decade. The losers must endure the tradition of the “Feast”: a day of orgiastic violence in which the victors can enslave, kill, rape, and even devour their opponents.

Ten years ago, Faolan, son of a fallen clan chief, witnessed the massacre of his family. Rescued by the son of the victorious chief, Torok, he has since been his slave, forced to endure Torok’s twisted whims.

Now, a new competition is about to begin — Faolan’s chance for revenge.
But will his vengeance taste of blood?
