Everything’s Better with Bacon, and You Can Never Have Enough Butter (But Then Along Comes Karma...): The First Child: 1 - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

For centuries, the hierarchy was unquestioned:
Human above all.
Nations rose and fell. Hate movements flourished. Mass violence became ordinary. But beneath it all lay a deeper violence — hidden in vast industrial complexes where conscious beings were bred, confined, and destroyed for pleasure and profit.
Then the prophecy began to unfold.
Two children are born with an impossible perception: they can feel the consciousness of other animals as vividly as their own. What they experience shatters the myth of human supremacy — and exposes the moral architecture of their entire civilization.
If animals are not objects…
If domination is not destiny…
If empathy is not weakness…
Then the world must change — or continue on its increasingly diseased path, to protect its lie.
This adult fantasy trilogy confronts factory farming, supremacist ideology, and systemic violence through prophecy, political upheaval, and a reckoning, centuries in the making.

“Dark, Unsettling, and Strangely Beautiful [Reviewed in Italy] - This is not your typical fantasy novel, it’s heavier, darker, and at times deeply uncomfortable, but in a way that lingers with you long after you close the book. The author doesn’t shy away from challenging themes like animal exploitation and speciesism, weaving them into a story that’s both magical and painfully real. I’ll admit, the opening chapter shook me, but I think that was the point, it sets the tone for a narrative that’s meant to provoke, not just entertain... It feels like the start of something much bigger.”

“Stays with you - Terrific trilogy, in which the author builds a fabulous world. It is inhabited by supernatural animals, who have willingly allowed themselves to be subjugated by humans, in order to prevent humans from worshipping them. Chapter 1…is intentionally and staggeringly dramatic. The author, in the Chapter 1 fictionalized cooking competition-type scene, compares the ongoing animal holocaust to the actual Holocaust (as have many noted philosophers and writers)…. The story has not only resonated with me, but has stayed with me. It is hard to stop thinking about it.”

“This trilogy isn’t just epic fantasy—it’s a fierce, unsettling, and strangely beautiful meditation on the way we treat the beings we share the world with. From the shocking first chapter to the final, transcendent finale, the story blends political satire, spiritual depth, and ecological fury into something completely original. The Deor and Cheela are unforgettable, the world-building is rich, and the two Children....anchor the narrative with brilliance and heartbreak. Yes, it’s dark. Yes, it’s challenging. But it’s also hopeful, visionary, and morally urgent. If you want a fantasy that lingers, provokes, and ultimately transforms, this trilogy is a must-read.”

“Dark Fantasy with a conscience - The author blends political satire, and breathtaking imagination into a world both unsettling and transcendent. The Deor creatures, the Children, and the clash of compassion versus cruelty stay with you long after reading.”

“A Bold, Uncompromising Fantasy That Challenges as Much as It Enchants [Reviewed in Italy]
This is a daring, morally charged novel that blends epic fantasy, political satire, and ethical reflection into a story that refuses to play it safe."

Warning! The first chapter compares the Holocaust to the ongoing, hidden animal holocaust on which our economy is based.

The characters include an oblivious population, some malevolent individuals, awesome animals with supernatural aspects, a small human support group, and two brilliant and magical minority children who have the ability to force people to see what is right in front of them.
