In the wastes of an abandoned world, there is no escape…especially from yourself.
Mason Manthous brings the first novel in his military paranormal urban fantasy series, The Desolate. In the ruins of modern society, magic has taken hold, and supernatural beings roam the lands. Dive into this fresh new take on the urban fantasy genre!
In a decaying world, it takes a monster to defeat one.
Aaron White only wants to find a place for himself and fulfill his destiny in a post-apocalyptic magical world where ruthlessness, tactics, strategy, and strength determine value. In a countryside preyed upon by monsters, Aaron must hide that he is one himself: a vampire endowed with incredible physical powers drawn from consuming human flesh and blood. While he seeks eventual acceptance, uncaring military leaders only want to use him as a disposable weapon.
Tasked with hunting and exterminating twisted, dangerous paranormal creatures and those who consort with occult magic, Aaron and his team dare the ire of a foreign lord and must flee to the capital of their benefactor and ruling sovereign to avoid war. When the team is reassigned to pursue a brutal murderer who harvests body parts, the pressure is on to catch the monster as the body count increases and the city’s stability is put at risk.
As the hunt for the killer escalates, Aaron must face an uncomfortable truth about the guilt he feels over what he is and his uncertainty moving forward. Despite his successes, he must learn to stand by his convictions no matter the cost. Will the world be willing to accept him, or will his Inhuman Intentions be forever distrusted?

PRAISE FOR THE DESOLATE
-
The characters are well-developed and execute their roles flawlessly. The pacing was fast enough to keep me on edge as I read, with different plot twists that made it more unpredictable.
Mary Clarke for Readers’ Favorite
-
Inhuman Intentions is for readers who want dark fantasy that does not hold back, who enjoy worlds where morality is murky and survival is fragile. If you like stories with squads of hardened soldiers, grotesque monsters, and heroes who are not quite human, this book will grip you and not let go.
Literary Titan
-
The narrative flow is both deliberate and rapid, propelling readers forward with a rhythm that reflects the urgency of the characters' lives. His capacity to strike a balance between cinematic violence and introspective reflection lends the book both momentum and weight, rendering it as action-packed as it is thought-provoking.
