The Jesters

For thousands of years, the world has feared the Ten Lords-ancient rulers who govern life, death, war, famine, time, and every force that shapes existence. Hidden even from them are three far older beings known only as the Jesters. They are not kings, gods, or demons. They are the living balance of creation itself. When fate begins to unravel, the Jesters awaken to restore order... no matter how cruel the method.

Twenty-year-old Aston Brooks, his best friends Andre Harris and Malachi Reed, are nothing more than ordinary young men trying to survive life in Charlotte. They have no magic, no supernatural blood, and no reason to believe monsters are real-until one night Fate chooses all three of them.

Aston is claimed by the terrifying Zeek, the First Jester.

Andre is claimed by the cunning Curis, the Second Jester.

Malachi is claimed by the quiet but unpredictable Alex, the Third Jester.

None of them have a choice.

Forced into a hidden world ruled by immortal beings, the three friends discover the Jesters aren't simply powerful-they are feared even by the legendary Ten Lords themselves. As ancient enemies awaken and the balance of existence begins to crack, the three humans may become the only thing capable of changing the fate of every supernatural race... if they survive long enough to accept the monsters destined to love them.
