The Sufferer Chronicles

He took a deal he had no business winning.

Ten years of starvation. Forty percent chance of merciful erasure. Fifty-nine percent chance of repeating the nightmare forever. One percent chance of becoming something strong enough to answer for the end of the world.

He hit the one percent.

Now he's a demon wearing the shape of a man, ruler of an afterlife built from the dead, surrounded by a pantheon of broken gods who owe him everything—and none of them are sure whether to call him savior or monster.

But power without purpose is just hunger wearing a crown. And a man who survived ten years in a basement doesn't forget what it cost him to keep breathing.

The Sufferer Chronicles follows a gambler who won the worst bet in existence, the family he built from its ashes, and the long, ugly distance between surviving something and becoming something worth being.

For readers who like: cosmic scale, found family, redemption arcs, and protagonists who earn their humanity the hard way.
