Devils Within by S. F. Henson begins with the heart-wrenching tale of Nate and his violent upbringing in a white-supremacist compound called “The Fort.” After killing The Fort’s brutal leader, who also happens to be his father, Nate is forced to escape his old life, adopt a new alias, and live with his estranged uncle. While attending his new school, Nate struggles with the nightmares of his past while hoping to develop some sense of normalcy with his new guardians. Nate gains a sincere friend in Brandon, an African-American classmate who is the complete representation of what his father and The Fort's henchman have groomed him to hate. Yet, Nate's ongoing psychological triggers and the looming threat of his identity being unmasked threaten to put his newfound friend, family, and entire community in danger.
