In a small, superstitious town, the Mortem family is infamous-they run the county morgue and dwell in a mansion long believed to be cursed. But the truth behind the rumors is even stranger: the Mortems are a secretive clan of witches, their powers stretching across generations, both light and dark. For one teenage girl at the heart of the family, life is a struggle between the burden of her ancestors and the choices she must make. Gifted with a rare ability to help lost souls find peace in the afterlife, she soon discovers a cruel catch: her power only works on the spirits of those who once murdered her kin-and who still threaten to destroy her bloodline. Torn between the forces of good and evil within her heritage, she must navigate deadly family secrets, relentless spirits, and the shadow of the Mortem curse. Every decision could break the cycle of vengeance-or condemn her family to a fate worse than death.

"Everyone loves a good fantasy, but my life was turned upside down by one." What would you do if you had the ability to control the air? How about if you were suddenly brought to a world where, despite your powers, you're at the bottom of the food chain? On a fateful night, Max Walker finds himself summoned to Asterisk and contracted to Liliana Lockwood as her familiar. Forced to leave behind his life on Earth, Max begins a precarious journey into the unknown world of magic. Training as a knight, learning to control mana, battling rogue necromancers and even being mistaken for Duke Walker's son... it's just one thing after the next. But as if that wasn't bad enough, Asterisk, a world which subverts reality as you know it, may just have something to do with Max's own heaven-defying origin... and a secret that could leave the universe hanging by a thread. By the way, this entire book is available on AMAZON KINDLE. If you like what you read, please consider buying it. Your support would mean a lot. Plus, you will get to read all the way to the end weeks before the last chapter gets posted here. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08816QJND https://www.amazon.in/dp/B08816QJND This is Book 1 of a projected Trilogy titled "The Legacy". Schedule - Chapters will be published once a week, around Sunday. Bonus chapters might come in occasionally now that I have a stockpile.

On that note, if you could leave a review/rating or state your thoughts about the novel as a whole that would be awesome too. Finally got the cover designed!
