"I was born from love, yet I am heaven's greatest heresy."

There has never been an M/M fantasy like this.

Angels who fall because of love. Demons who are more than their brimstone.

A cosmos where Heaven is not merciful, and love is both salvation and ruin.

The half-breed is a living heresy. Born of an angel and a demon, he is raised in captivity until the day he escapes, carrying only a single forbidden tenderness from a healer angel who defied Heaven to hold him for a single night.
When the healer is dragged into the Demon Realm as a sacrificial offering, the half-breed tears through demons, survives an arena that has consumed angels for millennia, and claims a throne he never wanted, and crosses the void where souls face eternal erasure. He encounters angels of all ranks, demon lords and fallen beings, all to reach that one love that he was never allowed to want.

This is a journey that asks whether a soul born as heresy can claim the right to love, and to be loved in return.

"Let them see it. Let them feel the weight of everything I was never allowed to be. I will not cower."

God's Scar is a slow-burn, emotionally intense, M/M dark fantasy romance of forbidden devotion, visceral worldbuilding, and the quiet violence of choosing to love in a cosmos built to destroy you.

"I just want you.
Painfully. Desperately. Endlessly.
You are the only reason worth living for.
The only thing that makes this world bearable."

"Because love was not the warmth they sang about in hymns. Love made you vulnerable, exposed to the sheer, naked terror of caring enough to lose everything."

Hear it from readers who love it :

"I need another instalment immediately. This was a perfect blend between Rafael Nicolás's 'Angels Before Man' and Anthony Oliviera's 'Dayspring'." - a Barnes & Nobles bookseller - NetGalley.

"What a profoundly beautiful, yet horrific book. It was unlike anything I had ever read before, and I loved every second of it. It was so moving and thought-provoking. I cried and felt so deeply by the end." - Goodreads reviewer.

"This is an amazing story about love, belonging and acceptance. The world-building is atmospheric and immersive. The battle scenes are described so well that it is like watching a film. The writing style is very beautiful and evocative. The unique portrayal of Heaven, Hell and complex characters make this a must-read for people who love books with high stakes and lyrical writing." - NetGalley reviewer.

"This book was extremely beautiful. Some of the most lyrical, beautiful prose I've ever read." - S.C.- Goodreads Author.

"This is a beautifully written story about heaven vs hell, devotion vs contempt, and where one belongs. The love between the MMCs was a tug of war and confusion of what love is supposed to be. This is an exquisitely dark tale of belonging, family history and grieving love." - Goodreads reviewer.

"This book has brought me through most of the feelings one can feel. It's soul-wrenching, nerve-wracking, it's healing, and it is grim, brutal, but also so very beautiful." - Booksirens reviewer.
