Karma’s Burden – Available Now
In a world where reincarnation is proven and karma is tracked like credit, death is no escape from your past.
By law, every eighteen-year-old must face Obligation Day, the moment their soul’s quantum signature is revealed, exposing the crimes, debts, or privileges of their past lives. Everyone gets a letter. Red means an obligation that must be repaid, usually through bonded labour. Green means freedom, and if your past self left you enough money, perhaps even a life of luxury.
Sam Epstein expects a clean slate at the very least, and maybe more. He’s clever, charming, and convinced the world is going to be his playground. But when he opens his envelope, the letter inside is red. Now he’s property, sold off by the state to the highest bidder.
Stripped of rights and identity, he is swallowed by a brutal system that buys, sells, and exploits karmic debtors, forcing them to repay debts from lives they can’t even remember. Reduced to livestock in a market of human souls, Sam must navigate predators and masters alike, torn between the instinct to survive and a conscience that refuses to die.
Karma’s Burden is the powerful debut novel from Philip J. Davies. Available now from Amazon.
