Book One of the Divine Host Trilogy Elias was meant to be a shepherd. Instead, he became a vessel. After surviving a forbidden ritual, Elias is marked by sacred sigils and bound to Malphas-an ancient spirit of consequence. As visions of the dead haunt him and a mysterious priest offers cryptic guidance, Elias must navigate a world where justice is no longer pure and wrath waits just beneath the surface. Each act of judgment reshapes the world-and Elias himself. The congregation begins to echo his voice. The spirit realm begins to bleed. And Elias begins to wonder if he is still the man who knelt... or the gate that opened. Divine Host: The Chosen Vessel is a mythic, emotionally charged descent into power, faith, and identity. For fans of spiritual thrillers, tragic heroes, and stories that reward deep attention, this is the beginning of a trilogy where every choice leaves a scar-and every scar tells a story.
