Here you can find the original webnovel of Decessit Vita Matris. It was orignally posted on A03 before I removed it as I self published a physical version on Amazon. A03 does not allow any work to make money on their site so to comply with their terms and conditions, I removed the work from my account. However, I wanted the original version to remain online, so I am posting it here.
The rewritten version is longer, but if you are interested in getting a taste of what the story is like before deciding whether or not to buy the novel, this is where you can find it. I hope you enjoy reading!

13th Century Devon.
Demons roam the earth, looking for prey to create half demon children, called cambions. They transform their victims’ bodies and do unspeakable things to them. Brother Gilbert of Buckmoor Abbey is one such man.
After his brutal attack and subsequent postpartum psychosis, Brother Gilbert is sent to his cousin’s castle to recover. While there, Brother Gilbert’s cousin puts him under the care of Thierry, a noble and incredibly handsome knight.
Thierry doesn't really know what to make of the emotionally and physically scarred monk. Brother Gilbert suffers from melancholy and disgust at his new body, causing him to lash out at those around him. Even so, Thierry is determined to help Gilbert heal from the mysterious and horrible demonic attack he suffered less than a year ago.
However, Gilbert’s feelings regarding Thierry are complicated. And they are made even more complicated when he knows what he did to the last man he loved…
