Algier, average human and recent convict, has committed the gravest sin of all: demon slaying. His fate? To participate in the Culling, a battle-royale style tournament that’s televised live to the world, where all the worst criminals go to die. As with all tournaments, a prize is on the line. If Algier survives, he can have any wish granted by the Marquises, the new rulers of Earth following the demons’ invasion. However, there’s little hope for survival in a tournament designed to have demons do the work of the executioner, especially for a human. Demons are stronger, faster, wiser, and more talented than the average human, and, despite his crime, Algier is no demon hunter. Mentally defeated before the tournament even begins, Algier is torn between becoming another demon’s points and fighting on in his dead mother’s legacy. But should he choose to fight, there is one advantage that Algier has that can tip the odds in his favour: Demons don’t lie, but humans can.   STORY HAS BEEN DROPPED Hey all. Bold text says it all. To anyone who enjoyed this book, from the bottom of my heart, I'm really sorry that I won't be working on this any longer. A lot of things were going on in my life at the time and it was hard for me to keep working on this. I made a lot of mistakes that I couldn't forgive and it was stressing me out more than it should have. I ultimately decided to drop it, not just because I was unhappy with the state of the story, but also for my mental health. I won't be picking up Demons Don't Lie again. I need to step away from it. If you want to see what I'm up to now, head on over to Fungeoneer. It's a much more comical, action-packed story about a team of (insane) dungeon crawlers killing monsters and trying not to screw everything up along the way. I laugh at my own jokes in that story. That's how you know it's funny. Right?
