Accidental Prophet

Gideon Lake is the last person who should be running a religion. He's a conman, a cynic, and a man whose deepest conviction is that the next drink will be better than the last. So when he invents a God of Forgiveness on a bar napkin to scam some easy coin, he doesn't expect much. He certainly doesn't expect the napkin to start talking back.Ezreel is real now. He's growing. And the price of his forgiveness isn't coin, it's memory. Every soul he absolves comes back a little emptier, a little more willing to forget what made them human in the first place.Gideon started this. Gideon has to finish it.He just wishes the only other person who believes him was, you know. A person. And not a sarcastic frog goddess with a fondness for fireballs and a grudge against his life choices.First in the Cult Classic trilogy.
