The Demon-Eater
Sometimes the monster lurks closer than you think...
The people of Capernia live in an era of progress, and, as such, during a time where much of the past is left to rot, including its horrors. Although, the world may have to face past horrors sooner than it realizes, as demons begin slaughtering the nobles in public, threatening the tiers of society set by man to keep the chaos at bay for so many years.
In Part One of The Demon-Eater, there are two whom we watch . . .
The Hunter: plagued by a past he cannot remember; tormented in his search for the "faceless woman's" murderer. And the Daughter, set on a course to save her father by any means necessary. A course that will break the world, or save it.(Excerpt): The shadow of the demon stirred again. This time the demon crawled closer to the edge of darkness, its pallid, rotting, human face peeling out of the shadows. A Skin Crawler. A demon with the ability to possess any living creature, by infiltrating the body and killing it from the inside. It stared at the hunter with eyes devoid of emotion. Dead eyes. Its face, however--with its dangling bits of sinewy flesh, revealing glimpses of the stark white bone of the skull beneath--, did contort into an expression that was clearly anger. It did not move to attack, but remained hunkered like some feral creature, half shrouded in shadow. Wary. Who was this man to chase a demon?

About the author
Devin Graham
12 books6 followersI have always had a love for words, especially when they came together to form stories. And so, from my elementary years, it has been my one lasting dream to build a life around shaping words into stories.
I grew up in Columbia, Kentucky, though currently live in Mississippi, where I spend my days rescuing princesses from dungeons, slaying dragons...and, of course, selling clothes to people at my retail job (which, believe it or not, can be tougher than getting the One Ring to Mount Doom).
