Chosen by the Buried Beast

The mountain changed him.

Now it’s calling him home.

Days after leaving Blackwood Mine, his transformation is accelerating. Human food cannot satisfy him. Copper and stone call to something beneath his skin, while dreams reveal a network of altered vessels connected through the ancient intelligence inside the earth.

The creature has not finished with him.

Drawn back beneath the mountain, he discovers the remains of a vessel who fought the transformation—and learns what resistance can cost. This time, he approaches the living altar willingly, ready to surrender his body and complete the bond that began without his consent.

But becoming the mountain’s chosen is only the beginning. As his consciousness expands, he senses others undergoing the same impossible change and something ancient awakening beneath the distant desert.

He was once the creature’s captive.

Now he will become its bridge to the world above.

Chosen by the Buried Beast is the second and final book in the Buried Beast Duet and must be read after Claimed by the Buried Beast. This dark MM tentacle novella contains consensual surrender under supernatural influence, alien implantation, crystalline body horror, loss of humanity and extreme transformation.
