Inheritance

Marcus James never asked to be the center of attention. At seventeen, all he wants is to survive high school, keep his head down on the football field, and protect what's left of his family. But surviving Brackenhill isn't easy-not when the shadows of his past refuse to stay buried.

His younger nephew, Trey, couldn't be more different. Quieter, sharper, and carrying a grudge Marcus can't erase, Trey believes Marcus failed him and his mother years ago. The tension between them is enough to rip them apart, but fate won't give them the chance.

Because something older, darker, and far more ruthless has returned to finish what began with their father: a cult sworn to erase the James bloodline. And leading the charge is the Black Mask-a relentless killer wielding a sledgehammer, who will stop at nothing to hunt them down.

When Marcus and Trey find themselves caught in a night of terror, the brothers must face not only the entity that stalks them, but the painful truths about each other. To survive, Marcus will have to become more than a protector-he'll have to become a fighter, even if it costs him his life.
