[No AI, fresh concept, sound logic, low new-book rating that will rise later]
His mother serves his heart at the dinner table.
A mouth beneath a skirt hides inside time.
The faith of the beastfolk turns to cannibalism.

The ending will definitely be unexpected. I welcome reasonable reader feedback.]
