📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

A man fights alien invaders who hide inside human bodies to take over Earth.

The narrative focuses on a specific threat from beyond our world. The Draekis are not typical monsters but beings that need flesh to exist. They do not attack with weapons but with patience, waiting years to destroy the spirit of their host. This slow process allows them to remain undetected for long periods. The central character must identify and stop them using gifts he possesses. If he fails, the Earth falls under alien rule. The story is a race against an enemy that looks like everyone else.
