Name: The God Eaters
Author: Jesse Hajicek
Length: A stand-alone novel, about 450 pages in print form.
Sub-genre: Dystopian wild-west fantasy romance.

Why it's awesome: Iron woobie outlaw with nothing left to lose meets rebel pamphleteer in way over his head in a harsh theocratic Old West-style dystopia when they are both arrested and sent to a prison for magic-users; together they plot a jailbreak, discover the dark secrets underlying the totalitarian Commonwealth and their own magical potential, and fall in desperate, epic, destiny-breaking love.

Content warnings: Racism toward fantasy indigenous people, mind rape, torture, forced drug use and transactional sex. One main character has a backstory involving child abuse and prostitution, which is discussed but not shown on-page.

Any other important information to know about: Besides being available in print, the author has the complete novel up for free on his original fiction archive on LJ!
