The Duck That Fed the Cat

Idols rule! Scripture is illegal! And Chungho hunts a living Cat God with a hammer, stolen maps, and the monster that wakes inside him. Break the island. Free the captives. Pay the price. In a world where worship of pagan gods is mandatory and truth is contraband, Chungho carries two secrets: a smuggled packet of Proverbs-and the thing living under his ribs that only wakes when the world tries to end him. When whispers surface of an island ruled by a living Cat God-an augmented idol who buys prisoners of faith to feed her spectacle-Chungho crosses the black water with nothing but a hammer, stolen maps, and verses he‘s not allowed to say out loud. The island purrs like a machine. Its priests smile like knives. Beneath the shrine, a manufactured heart beats for a goddess who demands obedience and calls it love. To free the captives, Chungho must become the very monster they taught him to fear: the duck-thing that tears through steel and regret alike. Part revenge tale, part outlaw hymn, The Duck and the Island That Purred Like a Machine is a brutal, beautiful descent into a future of false gods, engineered miracles, and quiet scripture whispered in the dark. If you‘ve ever wondered what it costs to keep your soul when the world sells new ones-open this book. Lean in. Truth is quieter than idols, but it wins if you listen.
