The God Squad

Mathew Clarke and his brother had grown accustomed to the monsters only they could see, but confronting gods is proving to be a far graver challenge. The two ran away from home to shield their family from the menacing creatures, but a twist of fate sees them lose their magical protection. The duo soon find themselves caught in a celestial war over the fate of the gods.

Loathe to be pawns in divine schemes, they discover gods are as petty and flawed as humans. Just as the Clarke brothers find a safe place where they might fit in, their world is turned upside down again. The brothers are thrust into the complexity of good and evil, realizing life is full of shades of grey – until it isn’t. Facing an uncertain destiny, they must forge unlikely alliances, learn to trust their friends, and muster faith in themselves to protect each other and find a place to call home.

In this tale of courage and camaraderie, every choice they make tips the scale between peril and salvation, not just for them, but for humanity.

Devan B. Deyerin

Kara homeschooled her son Devan from third through eighth grade. His first writing assignment was to mimic a book from the Beast Quest series, his favorite at the time. Devan loved this assignment and has been an avid writer ever since. Over the pandemic, they started writing together to explore Devan’s story idea, and what started as a friendly challenge became much more. They each wrote a chapter, combined them, and loved the outcome. When not writing together, Devan loves painting Warhammer figurines and staring at critters under a microscope, while his mom enjoys cooking and non-profit work.
