SYSTEM OF DEVOURING EVOLUTION When nineteen-year-old Kazimir Sarnov receives no Gift on the night humanity awakens to supernatural abilities, he believes he has been left behind by the new world. He is wrong. While the gifted discover strange powers, an ancient hunger arrives through impossible seams in reality. The Guests do not eat human flesh. They consume Gifts, leaving their victims alive but hollow, stripped of everything that once made them themselves. When one of the creatures tries to feed on Kazimir, something inside him awakens. Calling itself PHAGOS, the presence transforms Kazimir into something the new world has never seen: a Diner capable of consuming the Gifts of others. But every power he acquires comes with a price. PHAGOS offers him a choice between two precious memories, emotions, sensations, or pieces of identity. Kazimir can gain extraordinary abilities, but every meal costs him something he may never recover. At first, Kazimir uses his strange power to carry the Gifts of the dying, honoring those who would otherwise be consumed by the Guests. With every new ability, however, PHAGOS becomes more knowledgeable, more demanding, and increasingly hungry. As civilization collapses, Kazimir finds refuge at a lighthouse protected by Ligeia Thorne, a young woman whose Gift creates a light that the Guests cannot cross. Around them, survivors build a fragile sanctuary while an increasingly organized human faction begins registering and controlling the gifted. Meanwhile, Kazimir discovers something far more terrifying than the Guests. The seams between worlds are not random portals. They are openings in something much larger—something beneath reality itself. And PHAGOS may not simply be a parasite living inside him. It may be learning how to eat the world. Kazimir must decide how much of himself he is willing to sacrifice to protect the people who have become his family. Every Gift gives him greater power. Every meal takes something irreplaceable. Because evolution has never been free. And every price is kept.
