An anachronistic, late 19th-century equivalent setting.
To Bleed a Demon is the survival story of fraternal twins separated at youth, the pair haunted by a single temptation: revenge for their slaughtered family.
But can their hands ever reach for such a luxury, whether it be vengeance or justice, when the world casts them out for bearing a stigma? To the broader human population, they are nothing but ‘demons’: a dying breed to be hunted, culled, and erased.
After bloodshed consumed their peaceful lives, disparate refuges harbored the children, creating a stark dichotomy in their beliefs.

| Marooned in a frozen wasteland, the bitter cold and unforgiving world tempered her into a bitter child with a cynical outlook on the world. Every waking moment is a battle for survival, whether it’s in the wasteland or in the human world. | Wrung into the underbelly of society, he learns that even in the vilest men, a glimmer of good can exist. This forges him into a child compassionate to a fault, believing that every dark soul is simply one that needs a hand extended to it. |
Unable to find solace among their own dwindling kind, these two siblings are the only family they have. But when their conflicting ideologies inevitably clash in pursuit of vengeance, will the bond of blood be enough to save them from each other, or will it ensure they both bleed?
Closing Note
With all of that said and out of the way, I hope you enjoy.
If a chapter has a draft number, don’t clunkiness too hard. However, if a chapter says “Final” instead of draft, harass me for being a bad author.
