In 19th century New Orleans, Mason Thurlow, a mysterious man with strange powers and an enormous capacity for evil, hatches a sinister plot to overthrow the goverment of Hati. Weilding black magic and the power of his almost unlimited wealth, Thurlow sets off a slave uprising that will eventually leave 60,000 dead. But the true story begins long before - when Mason, age seven, is killed for the first time and raised from the dead. It's the beginning of an epic series of novels written from the point of view of one of dark fantasy's darkest villians. Here is a novel of Satanism, seduction, death, and dark forces. 'Because I have no soul/I come to rule this world of Man./Heaven cannot stop me;/And Hell but look on in admiration.' -Mason Thurlow.
