God Hunters

David Ruger has always been curious. That's how he landed his charming on-again, off-again boyfriend, Wyler, and how they started in St. Louis and ended up in the Expanse, an alien universe where humans take on supernatural abilities and demons munch on Chinese takeout. Thirty thousand years earlier, the Expanse was devastated by a gruesome war. The old gods and a group of shifters known as The God Hunters fought and failed to restore order. Little does David know that they've been waiting for the perfect time to try again-and they've set their eyes on him as the one with the power to restore the Expanse to its former splendor. Strolling along cobblestone streets in a technologically advanced city floating above the clouds is fascinating, and David and his companions venture ever deeper, where strange beings welcome David as an old friend. But what should have been a brief exploration becomes a race against time to save David's life.

Months ago, David Ruger was an average human with a flighty boyfriend. Now he lives in an alien universe called the Expanse and wields supernatural powers. He's also traded in his flighty ex for Doug Colt, a man with a heart of gold and nerves of steel-which is a good thing, because his occupation can get rough. When David joins Doug and his brother, Bryan, on a job to track down a group of vengeful trolls, the journey takes them across the Expanse to the Shards of Exeter, a magical place made of continent-size landmasses shrouded in atmosphere. There, supernatural beings abound and formidable adversaries lurk in the shadows. But the mission is more than it seems. Through visions, David learns of the role he must play in reshaping the Expanse-and of the unspeakable evil that caused the God Hunters' war so long ago. With that same threat resurfacing, David must embrace his destiny to save the family he has come to love.

Can David and his companions protect the innocent within the Expanse and find a way to defeat Ahzoul-no matter the cost?

The treachery of an ancient, sinister evil is on the rise again. Aided by his boyfriend Doug, David will stand against old and new threats.
