Synopsis
"A dark story of passion, revenge, and a Faustian pact ... a guilty-pleasure read that kept me captivated knowing something sinister is looming." ~New Orleans Magazine In the late 1800s, handsome, wealthy New Englander, Magnus Blackwell, is the envy of all. When Magnus meets Jacob O'Conner—a Harvard student from the working class—an unlikely friendship is forged. But their close bond is soon challenged by a captivating woman; a woman Magnus wants, but Jacob gets. Devastated, Magnus seeks solace in a trip to New Orleans. After a chance meeting with Oscar Wilde, he becomes immersed in a world of depravity and brutality, inevitably becoming the inspiration for Dorian Gray. Armed with the forbidden magic of voodoo, he sets his sights on winning back the woman Jacob stole from him. Amid the trappings of Victorian society, two men, bent on revenge, will lay the foundation for a curse that will forever alter their destinies. "An intriguing, dark tale … seamlessly blends mystery, magic and matters of the heart to create an enthralling read." ~RT Book ReviewsSERIES AWARDS 2018-2019•Gold, Mystery, Feathered Quill Book Awards•Gold, Horror/Supernatural/Paranormal, American Fiction Awards•Gold, Intrigue, Readers' Favorite Book Awards•Gold, Cross Genre, NYC Big Book Awards•Silver, Adult Fiction, Feathered Quill Book Awards•Bronze, Horror, Foreword Reviews Magazine Book of the Year Awards•Bronze, Magic, Readers' Favorite Book Awards•Finalist, Series, Next Generation Indie Book Awards•Finalist, Suspense, National Indie Excellence Awards•Finalist, International Book Awards•Finalist, Horror, Best Book Awards•Finalist, Supernatural, Readers' Favorite Book Awards•Official Quarterfinalist, Screencraft: Cinematic Book Contest
