Teaser from page 63 in the hard cover.
Magnus confronted the stranger’s dark brown eyes. “Thank you, Mr…?”
“Wilde, Oscar Wilde.”
“You must call me Magnus, Oscar. Like you, I am looking for some new experience to distract me….”
“Experience is the name men give to their mistakes.” Oscar returned.
Oscar raised his glass. “Then I am here to, hopefully, make a great many mistakes. ”

Synopsis
Hell has a new master
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.
