Dread: Book 1

Dread: Book 1

A forgotten prophecy marks Jabulani, a boy born into a world reshaped by gods, memory, and divine systems known as Domains. In this new era, essence—the raw spiritual force of existence—flows not from belief but from knowledge. And Jabulani? He knows too much. Hunted by forces older than history, he and his friends—Suyana, Calix, and Wendell—unearth the buried truth behind Subjecthood, memory, and the dark politics of the gods. Back on Earth, Jabulani enters a seemingly normal school life—only to find that even his classroom has become a battleground where mortal politics and divine schemes collide. The gods have returned—not to be worshiped, but to seize control. But this time, a mortal child might remember too much. This is the story of how humanity created the Garden of Eden.
