The Descendant of Darkness Justin Lancaster

Life is full of ups and downs, and most people are capable of maintaining a healthy balance between them. However, there are also people who struggle with these internal mechanisms. This crafty novel details one young adolescent's struggle. It is a miraculously inspiring and equally depressing story of a boy living with an undiagnosed mental illness. He attempts to diagnose himself throughout the novel, but he ultimately fails. Soon enough, he gets the help he needs, and he even receives a proper diagnosis from a psychiatrist. The boy vows to change his life for the better, but life has other plans for him. Family conflict, stress, and school build up an unearthly tension that leads to a shockingly climactic battle. Experience the ups and downs alongside the story's protagonist, and journey with him as he attempts to cure himself of his own disease.
