What's a good book that involves a protagonist whose world-view is drastically changed after discovering something dark?

Hopefully not as angsty as I made this request sound, though.

Noted. Not sure if I'll like, though, as I tried several times to read Steppenwolf and could never stomach it.

More suggestions are welcome. Thank you.
