The Divine Misconception
A Fantasy-Comedy of Divine Mistakes and Demonic Misunderstandings
Rex Bishop wakes up in a pile of hay with a pounding headache, a foggy memory, and a dozen fanatical worshippers bowing at his feet. The problem? He has no idea who they are-or why they're calling him their Divine Lord.
Even worse, his reflection in a puddle reveals horns, crimson eyes, and clawed hands. He's not human anymore. He's a demon. A powerful one, apparently. According to ancient prophecy, he's returned after seven hundred years to lead his devoted followers into a new era. There's just one issue:
They think he has a grand plan. He does not.
Now, stuck on a throne he didn't earn, in a kingdom on the brink of war, Rex has to fake his way through godhood-dodging scheming priests, overeager knights, and fanatical citizens who would die (or kill) at his command. If he makes one wrong move, the entire world might tear itself apart in his name.
His only saving grace? Clara Voss, his silver-haired, sharp-tongued bodyguard, who definitely sees through his act-but finds his predicament way too entertaining to help.
With the weight of an empire on his shoulders and absolutely no clue what he's doing, Rex must master the art of divine deception... or die trying.
For fans of irreverent fantasy, reluctant heroes, and dangerously devoted cults, The Divine Misconception is a chaotic, darkly comedic adventure full of mistaken identity, political intrigue, and the perils of unearned power.
