The Gods We Feed

The Gods We Feed Book Description

For two thousand years, a story has been passed from mother to daughter.

A story of fear.
A story of sacrifice.
A story of something ancient beneath the earth that must be appeased.

But what if the gods were never real?

What if the only thing being fed was fear?

When Bianca discovers the truth buried beneath her family's history, she is forced to confront a legacy that has shaped generations of women before her. Ancient tablets, whispered warnings, and a terrible pattern of belief have transformed an old stone chamber into something more than a place—it has become the vessel for everything her family has been afraid to name.

Breaking that inheritance comes at a cost.

Bianca must decide whether the stories handed down to her are sacred warnings or simply wounds disguised as tradition. And when the past threatens to repeat itself, she faces the most dangerous question of all: how do you protect the people you love without teaching them to be afraid?

Years later, Bianca brings her seven-year-old son, Enzo, into the very place where generations once surrendered their fear.

But Enzo sees something his ancestors could not.

An empty room.

An old story.

And nothing waiting inside.

The Gods We Feed is an atmospheric literary mystery about inherited trauma, ancient beliefs, family secrets, and the courage it takes to stop fear from becoming an inheritance. Moving between the weight of the past and the quiet possibility of a different future, it asks what happens when we finally refuse to feed the things that have controlled us for generations.

Because sometimes breaking a curse doesn't mean defeating a monster.

Sometimes it means teaching the next generation that there was never a monster there at all.
