Book excerpt: In a post-apocalyptic world plagued by demons, Pyre is the last great city left on Earth. For its inhabitants, it offers a simple deal: conform to its god, Morah, and live peaceably within its blessed walls that keep evil away. But for seventeen-year-old Leo Valdori, agreeing to these terms is a death sentence, for that he has two secrets that put him at odds with Pyre. The first being that he loves magic and wants to learn how to use it, despite magic being decreed a sin by Morah, and thus illegal. The second being that Leo is becoming ever aware of his feelings about other boys, a sentiment that could mark him as a deviant if he were to ever confess this secret to anyone. Tired of living a fake life, designed only to help him fit in with society, and fueled by his everlasting dream to become the greatest legend of all time, Leo decides to risk everything and cross the holy walls of Pyre and enter the lands of demons in search of magic. When Leo wakes up the next morning with red eyes and the ability to move objects with his mind, he feels like he will finally be able to live the life he has always dreamed of. But becoming a homulen, or half-demon, comes at a price. Demons want to devour his soul. Humans want to burn him at the stake. And perhaps the greatest danger of them all is losing control to the darkness within him. Leo does not have much time to learn the rules of the new world he is a part of, as he joins a paranormal research group, faces off against ghosts, witches, and a demonic cult, and navigates the growing divide between who he is and who the world expects him to be. It falls on Leo Valdori to protect the city that made an outcast of him.A DEMON SAGA: THE BOY WITH RED EYES is the first book in the A DEMON SAGA series and follows Leo Valdori on a quest of self-discovery, magic, and becoming the greatest legend of all time.
