THE BLACK TESTAMENT

BOOK OF SHADOWS vol. IV

Hell grants nothing without sacrifice.

Still grieving the loss of her mother, seasoned occultist Anna Jacobs now hunts the dead alone. But when a message from beyond the grave whispers her name, she follows it to a remote abandoned village frozen in time and swallowed by the lingering traces of something unspeakable.

There she discovers a family living in hiding—tormented, evasive, and guarding dark secrets of their own. Anna’s arrival stirs ancient forces better left buried, and she soon becomes entangled in a mystery far older and far more sinister than any she has faced before.

Beneath the eerie calm, the desolate village guards the Black Testament, an unholy grimoire gifted by the Devil himself to one of history’s most feared witches. Its infernal pages have carved a trail of madness and blood through the centuries, but it may also hold the only key to saving her mother’s soul from damnation… if it doesn’t claim hers first.

Atmospheric, harrowing, and rich with supernatural menace, The Black Testament delivers a chilling tale of dark magic, buried sins, and a fearless heroine pushed to the edge of damnation.

The writing is exquisite, dripping with malice and yet beautifully poetic.

Terrifyingly good! This book has it all, the villain we all hate, the female protagonist we all find ourselves rooting for, and the hope for a family’s survival.
