DEMI'SE
By Aaditya Krishan
In a world where gods no longer walk the earth, their remnants choose who shall rise next.
The nation of Sunsuba thrives on power-not political, but divine. Every year, select individuals are summoned into dreams not their own-dreams that test the soul. Those who survive awaken transformed, bearing supernatural gifts known as Demi-Powers.
Ray, a quiet teenager burdened by his brother's shadow, never expected to be chosen. But when a dream unlike any other drags him into a celestial war of trials, he becomes more than a candidate-he becomes a threat.
His brother Arun, the nation's favorite, is everything Ray is not: brilliant, beloved, and already in the military's favor.
Now, as rivalries intensify and ancient forces resurface, both brothers are drawn into a violent selection process-where the gods are silent, but their judgment echoes in blood.
Power demands sacrifice.
Family demands loyalty.
The Demi-Selection demands neither.
A gripping tale of destiny, betrayal, and divine power, DEMI-SE fuses dark fantasy with political intrigue in a world where only the chosen survive.
