In a World Where Men Are Rare, I Became the Pope’s Devotee
Synopsis:
In this world, something has gone terribly wrong. Men have grown so scarce they feel like legends, and the few who remain are protected like sacred treasures that no one can ever afford to lose.
Lirian Ashwood is one of them.
Reborn with only hazy fragments of a past life that cling to him like a quiet curse, he has spent every day inside the Grand Cathedral of Akadonia as the Pope’s most cherished devotee. Vespera Langford keeps him close, feeding him rare chocolate, calling him her sweet boy, and pressing warm kisses to his forehead until his skin shines with her affection. To Lirian the cathedral is home, the Pope is family, and the life around him feels gentle, safe, and warm.
But the Ascension Rite is coming.
The final ceremony that will end his sheltered childhood and turn him into a full adult devotee. No one will tell him exactly what the last test involves. The senior male devotee he sometimes meets in the halls already looks worn down to the bone. And the women around him — the green-haired countess, the stoic knight, the dark-eyed subordinates, even the gentle healer — have begun to watch him with a hunger that wasn’t there before.
Little by little, Lirian starts to feel the shift. In this world a rare man is not simply treasured. He is something the Pope cannot let go of.
And with those faint memories of his previous life still whispering that something is deeply wrong, the beautiful cage around him is already closing.
By the time the rite is over, the truth waiting for him may be far crueler than any love he has ever known.
