[First Draft Version] The Ferox Chronicles Book One

Caspian Mandala is a monster. At least that's what he's been told his entire life.

A hundered years after a nuclear holocaust, the genetic mutations caused by the radioactive fallout are still apparent in modern society. These mutations, more commonly known as Feroxi or bronze demons are hated and looked upon as less than human.

At the age of six, Caspian was taken to a holding facility for Feroxi like himself. The guards are cruel and the living conditions are horrible.

Caspian shares a small, cold cell with three other Feroxi, who share one source of light, a small barred window at the top of the damp concrete wall.

Every day Caspian is dragged against his will into an entirely white room, and restrained in a chair in the center. Every day more and more grotesque experiments are preformed on Caspian, and every day his body is given yet another scar.

He has no hope that his life could ever be anything more than this living hell.

One fateful day, however, the scientists preform another macabre experiment on him, injecting him with a poison that should've killed him.

Instead Caspian finds the strength to rip off his restraints and fight his way out of the compound.

Now wanted dead or alive, Caspian must blend in with humans. But as he finds himself in the wrong place at the worst time, he learns of a terrible plan of action.

He must find a way to free all the others like him before the tyrannical government decides to kill the Feroxi, once and for all, which would also cause catastrophic collateral damage that could very well indeed mean the death of the entire planet.
