clean YA Dark Fantasy
One city. Two gangs. Someone giving out magic to any willing to pay the price. At fifteen, Cory is younger than the others who make a deal, but there's no other way to take down Maniac, the rival gang member who is destroying his family. Except when he begins shifting into other people, it unleashes an inner monster that he can't control. If he continues on his vendetta, there may be nothing left of his family when he's done.
Unpublished; draft 6
