Books by Rick Remender

Religion is outlawed and blase hedonism is the norm, in the skewed future. Unleashed into this godless society is a horrible new drug, Gray Matter, which physically transforms its users into monsters, called "Hydes." As the cities rot, a mysterious creature emerges with only one instinct: hunt down the Hydes to rid society of them.

Adam Osidis, a dying knight from a disgraced house, must choose between joining a hopeless band of magic users in their desperate bid to free their world of the evil God, or accepting his promise to give Adam everything his heart desires.
