The Animal In Us

Tetch buried his humanity long ago. Only the Bear survives—until a boy sparks the one thing he thought he'd lost forever: hope.

In the shattered ruins of a lawless world, Tetch roams Desolation—a wasteland where monsters wear human faces and survival is paid for in blood. He's no hero. He's violence made flesh, and he's seen the madness they whisper about in the dark: Desolation's Child.

As power shifts between the crumbling remains of City Proper and the gang-run Skirts, betrayal runs deep. A mole within The Council stirs the chaos, and old wounds reopen as new enemies emerge.

Tetch doesn't care about politics—until that boy stumbles into his path. And with him, a future worth bleeding for.

But survival demands more than brute strength. It demands something Tetch may no longer possess. When the line between man and monster blurs, the question isn't who wins—it's what lines will you cross others won't.

The Animal In Us is a gritty psychological dystopian thriller for fans of The Road, Altered Carbon, and the brutal intensity of Mad Max.
