In the heart of the Deep South, where secrets rot beneath magnolia trees and whispers drift through cracked church windows, a curse has waited... patient, hungry, and bound in blood. When Ben's father dies, grief cracks open a door he didn't know existed-a door into a world of forgotten rituals, haunted legacies, and the book that holds it all: the Grimoire of Kaz.
