Poppy Juice

In Fleckland, thirteen is more than just an age-it's a test. Every child must drink the mysterious Puppy Juice, a substance that grants extraordinary powers to the compatible... and curses the incompatible. Those who fail are twisted into terrifying white and black creatures, feared as Cagni.

Floki Arna'son has always been different. With scruffy black hair, mismatched eyes, and a restless curiosity, he has survived the shadows of his father's illness and the memory of his brother's escape from the Juice. But now, the priests have come to prepare him for the ritual, and there's no turning back.

As the Juice awakens something violent within him, Floki discovers a power he cannot yet control-one that ties blood, life, and death together. He may be humanity's hope... or its next nightmare.

In a world of dark rituals, twisted magic, and secrets lurking in every home, Floki must survive the ceremony, uncover the truth behind the Puppy Juice, and decide what kind of power he wants to be.

Dark fantasy, coming-of-age horror, and a tale where every choice can awaken monsters-inside and out.
