About the book: 2010 / "God is above all. Flesh is sacred." These words are repeated like a spell by the slaughterers, the most respected people in the town of Ebirn. These words were commanded to them by their Ebernian god - the one who gave people the main thing - THE CHOSEN, which means he gave them food. Gave them MEAT. Meat is what they love more than anything else. Meat is what they exist for. Meat is something without which they will not survive. Meat is forever. It was, is and will always be. According to the covenant of God, the CHOSEN sacrifice themselves so that people are fed. And it seems that the established order is unshakable and eternal. But one day it is broken... A chilling thriller that received the highest score from Stephen King himself.
