Black -- Canto I of The Nephilim Codex

High school sucks.
All the boring classes, petty teachers, and inevitable teen drama.
Being a senior makes it all bearable, though.
At least, it's supposed to.
Unfortunately, Tommy and his friends are about to have a killer year...


All Tommy wanted was a little time to get over his break-up with Alyson. He never asked for a fight with Alyson's bizarro new boyfriend, Eric, but he wasn't about to shy away from it, either.
The only problem is that Eric isn't like other boys... The scars that never seem to heal. The black book - cold to the touch - that he keeps hidden in his basement. The unholy rage, seething just below the surface, set to shatter everything he touches, even the boundaries of hell.
And now, in the midst of what should have been the best time of their lives, Tommy and his friends must try to prevent Eric from achieving his ultimate goal: the summoning of a mysterious artifact capable of reducing the earth to ash, or raising it to untold glories...

Black is the genre-bending first book in the epic dark fantasy series The Nephilim Codex, blending the teen angst of a John Hughes movie marathon with Hong Kong action sensibilities and the pulse of a classic goth and alternative soundtrack. This new ebook edition contains an exclusive excerpt from Down - Canto II of The Nephilim Codex.
