Jury is a young man obsessed with founding a new religion—one without rules, restrictions, or a God. He offers his followers a belief system without barriers that can be shaped in their image. But as this fluid spirituality attracts a devoted (and volatile) following, more profound questions emerge: if a religion can be anything, does it have any meaning?
As Jury wrestles with the consequences of his ideology, a shadowy force begins manipulating events behind the scenes. At the same time, a jaded journalist attempts to expose—or exploit—Jury’s movement. What started as a spiritual experiment spirals into a crisis of identity, power, and purpose.
Counter Cult blends literary fiction with magical realism in a chilling exploration of modern spirituality, ideological extremes, and the fine line between liberation and delusion. Part literary fiction, part psychological suspense, Counter Cult is a story of faith, identity, and the dangerous spaces between what we believe and what we fear.
Perfect for readers drawn to cult psychology, philosophical fiction, and boundary-pushing narratives.
