An Artist
by J. R. Kendiro
The Mother. A titanic organism, humanity's home and ravenous god. Housing sprouts like fungus from flesh, wrapped in membranes, supported by cartilage. No stone. No metal.
Within her pulsing bowels, Kawe is no ordinary artist. She paints with living pigments, commands bacterial colonies with sound, creates beauty in a world that despises her kind. Artists are pariahs—their Profession abolished centuries ago, their secrets passed down in shadow.
But when a noble's whim turns her own blood against her, Kawe learns that survival demands more than talent. It demands teeth.
The Mother feeds the child. The child feeds the Mother.
For readers of Joe Abercrombie, Mark Lawrence, Pierce Brown, and N.K. Jemisin.
What readers are saying about the Ravenous Mother series:
Dark and delicious — and slimy. The images in my head remind me of H.R. Giger's art. I'm hooked and I'm craving more of this intriguing world.
The pacing is excellent — never rushed, never slow. I often found myself thinking "just a little bit more." This will leave you ravenous for more.
If you like your fantasy dangerous, and your stories more slow-burn dread than flashy spectacle, Ravenous absolutely delivers.
