The Devoured Sons: Echoes of The Solemn Veil
What secrets lie beyond the veil? The Devoured Sons is a philosophical, genre-bending exploration of Artificial Intelligence and its integration into society following The Solemn Veil—an apocalyptic event that decimated life on Earth.
The world looked very different in the late 21st century. Cities were destroyed, governments were dissolved, and the survivors knelt before the man who saved them. In his walled city-states, protected from the sun’s lethal radiation, the Benefactor was praised and hailed as humanity’s savior.
However, after years of lonely introspection, Slevin emerged from his Nashville apartment to find that society had changed, and perhaps life wasn’t as utopian as it seemed. In the wake of an emotionally harrowing night with friends, he was forced to confront his own identity and decided he’d never again be a slave to others—physically or mentally.
At the end of his desperate quest for freedom, Slevin was left sickened and haunted by the unexpected consequences of his choices. Was his freedom worth the ensuing devastation unleashed upon humanity?

This is an interesting read! A good idea, very nicely done, some lovely imagery! It does have YA overtones I felt. Good levels of energy, as expected in a dystopian repressed society & adventure, some unexpected moments in the storyline & overall a really enjoyable read!
