Black Magik by Troy Maverick 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. Ancient, powerful, and alive, it reveals a terrifying truth. Every firstborn male in Ben's family is marked... and time's runnin' out. Now, stalked by the Shadow People and guided by his no-nonsense grandmother, Bigmama, Bennie must confront the deal that doomed his bloodline-and the ancestor who couldn't finish what he started. The only way out... is through the dark. "They don't just come for you, child. They remember you. They remember your daddy. And they remember the deal y'all broke." - Bigmama Jackson

a part of his life turned out to be full of lies.

Ever since the beginning of time, there was magic. Even before the creation of man, it existed. The question is, what happened to it? Where did it go? Where did it come from, and who were the 1st to use it? So many questions that need answered.

Jay has it all; A great job and a beautiful family... but there's something missing still. He's not quite sure why he isn't satisfied but the one thing that gives him that satisfaction could be the one thing that destroys everything he's worked hard to build and achieve.
