Welcome to the Artist Corner for the novel Incarnation. Do have in mind, that the book and character decriptions contain spoilers.

The novel is written in Danish, but it would be amazing to see it translated into other languages, so feel free to write me if you know a publisher or are a publisher who’s interested.

The book

Incarnation is the first book in the Mestenes-series. It’s a novel about Mestenes, who wakes up in the morgue at Roevel Academy. It turns out that someone has used an essence to make Mes come back to life, but Mes doesn’t remember anything from the past. At the school Mes meets the student Axten, who’s certain Mes is some sort of godly creature. Mes is dressed like a girl. Later on Axten realizes that Mes is in fact a boy, physically, and Mes’ body has alot of signs from physically abuse. Mes begins to relive memories from the past, memories from a life in a lonely cellar.

Along the way Mite, Axtens best friend, tries to help them in the mystery of what Mes are and why someone made the body come back to life. However, it’s not easy for Mite, who has feelings for Axten, and even though Axten tries to fight it he gets more and more attracted to Mes.

Even though Mes wish for it not to be true, it turns out that Mes is no godly creature and the memories are Mes’ own.

Wielder characters

Both Axten, Mes and Mite are wielders, people with a special power called The Sense. They can use it to move objects without touching them and read people’s memories. Therefore wielders are considered a danger to sociaty.

All wielders get moved away from their families and grow up on specialized orphanages. The Citadel, the people who rules The Southern Coast, uses wielders as their property. And to show the world, that wielders are in fact the property of The Citadel, all wielders wear collars with the Citadel’s mark.

The main character in Inkarnation. Read more by clicking on Mes’ name.

“Jeg tager underkjolen af i en glidende bevægelse. I den kølige kælder mærker jeg det svage træk mod min nøgne ryg. At se på mig selv i spejlet er på ingen måde det samme, som da jeg så genspejlingen af mit ansigt i den røde metaloverflade. I spejlet ser jeg meget mere. Det fylder mig med en trykkende sorg. Jeg føler mig som en underlig vanskabning.”
