Kill the Boy

**Synopsis for *Kill the Boy***



In a ravaged world where a mysterious infection from a 4.5-mile-wide asteroid has reshaped Earth, humanity teeters on the brink of extinction. The infection spawns monstrous creatures and awakens rare ocular powers in survivors, granting abilities like clairvoyance, time perception, and bio-analysis. Yet, these gifts come at a brutal cost: overuse risks blindness, madness, or death. Cities burn, oceans churn with unnatural life, and the remnants of civilization cling to fortified havens like the World Tree city, while the desolate Waste Grave Land harbors untold horrors.



Eric, a 9-year-old South Sudanese boy haunted by vivid nightmares of a burning city, finds himself alone with his cousins Jabari and Lacy, and a resourceful classmate he stumbles upon. Stranded in the chaos of South Sudan after a cataclysmic event, they must navigate a landscape of infected beasts, treacherous fog-laden beaches, and their own awakening powers. Eric’s journey is one of survival, self-discovery, and the weight of choices that could save—or doom—what’s left of their world.



*Kill the Boy* is a gripping webnovel of courage, loss, and the fight to hold onto humanity in a world that demands you become something more. Will Eric rise as a hero, or fall to the darkness within? Dive in to find out.
