Demon Tide (Demon Tide Book 1) - Troy Hooker

A mysterious mansion. A society on the brink of collapse. A fight for their lives.

 When the government rolls out a new tracking program, Matt's family and three others know it’s time to run. To leave everything behind and flee north, to an abandoned mansion in the mountains left to them by Matt’s grandfather, Elias.

 But this is no ordinary mansion. Like Elias himself, the towering halls hold many secrets. As Matt, Luca, Bennet, and Nolan explore its mysteries, they uncover something terrifying: this is not just a safe house—it’s a training ground for warriors.

 The Demon Tide is coming, and the rogue government is hiding something that will change everything. If Matt and his friends want to survive, they must make an impossible choice.

 Hide, or fight. There’s no turning back.

A gripping dystopian sci-fi adventure perfect for fans of Ready Player One and Stranger Things. This clean apocalyptic fiction is ideal for readers ages 12-16.
