Under The Oak Tree Manta

At nineteen, Arden has only ever known fear—fear of the villagers who whisper “monster” when he passes, and fear of the dark voice that lurks inside his mind. Born under a cursed blood moon, he carries within him a demon’s soul, chained but restless, always hungry for release. Arden wants nothing more than to live quietly, far from suspicion. But when his village is attacked by forces older than legend, the demon inside him stirs, offering him the strength to fight… at a price. Now, torn between the life of a normal young man and the dangerous power growing within, Arden must decide: Will he resist the demon’s call, or embrace it—and risk becoming the very monster he’s sworn to fear? THE DEMON IN ME is a dark young adult fantasy of forbidden power, inner conflict, and the fight to control the darkness within before it consumes everything.

His hands trembled, stained dark, but he couldn’t say whose blood it was. Outside, sirens wailed like mourning wolves. He stepped into the street, and the city looked back — neon, rain, old hunger.
