THE GODCHASER

A Novel

by Evan Evans

The Godchaser Book Cover

When your achievements mean nothing, what are you living for?

In The Glittering, worth is measured by the glow of your hands. The brighter you shine, the more you matter. Elian's light is dying.

Elian has achieved everything The Glittering values. Award-winning buildings. Professional success. A life that glows. But inside, he's empty.

When mysterious words appear on his window—The Godchaser begins here. You were supposed to be Mine.—Elian does the unthinkable: he walks away. Through ancient gates. Into wilderness. Toward something he can't name but desperately needs.

What he finds there will strip him bare. An old guide. Impossible tests. Lies that must die. And a truth more scandalous than grace: he's wanted. Not because he's worthy, but because Love itself has been chasing him all along.

THE GODCHASER is a story about discovering you've been found.

A Literary Allegory for Anyone Who's Achieved Everything and Felt Nothing

For readers who loved The Alchemist, Pilgrim's Progress, and The Chronicles of Narnia.

This is what happens when the metrics we use to measure our lives reveal themselves as hollow. When achievement becomes addiction. When success tastes like failure. When the brightest light can't touch the deepest darkness.

This is the story of a man who discovers he's been running from the very thing pursuing him.

The Journey

A city that measures worth by the light in your hands.

A path that strips away everything false.

A Kingdom built on scandal: you're wanted before you're worthy.

This is a story about the lies we believe about ourselves. About the metrics that measure everything except what matters. About discovering you've been running from the very Love that's been chasing you.

About learning to stop. Turn around. Chase back.

From the book:

"You're not asking the right question. You're asking: Am I worthy of being wanted? But that's not why I want you. I want you because I'm love. That's My nature. I don't love you because you're worthy. I love you because I'm love."

This is a story about discovering you've been chased by Love your entire life. About transformation that doesn't improve the old self but buries it so something new can emerge. About grace so scandalous it offends everything in us that demands justice.

About being wanted before doing anything. Loved before fixing anything. Chosen before proving anything.
