Pestilence.

Eli Harper is a seemingly ordinary teen who has always struggled with anxiety and obsessive habits, convinced something is “wrong” with him. But when students around him begin mysteriously falling ill, Eli realizes that his presence is triggering sickness wherever he goes. As his anxiety, guilt, and fear spiral, Eli discovers that he is not just vulnerable to disease—he is the manifestation of it: Pestilence, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Throughout the book, Eli struggles to understand and control his powers while coping with the moral and emotional consequences of harming others, often unintentionally. With the support of his friends—Maya, Asher, and Lena—he begins to confront the terrifying truth: his existence marks the beginning of a global catastrophe. The story ends with Eli’s reluctant acceptance of his identity, setting the stage for the emergence of the other Horsemen.
