Novels by Kelly Ex

James has spent his entire life believing that hatred is the only thing keeping him alive. Born into poverty and shaped by a childhood marked by loss, betrayal, and violence, James learned early that the world does not reward the weak. Alongside his closest friend, Todd, he survived the darkness of the slums and grew into a man who understands humanity better than most. He knows what people will do for money. He knows what fear can make them become. And above all, he knows beneath every noble mask lies the same primitive desires—fear, greed, pride, love, and survival. But James is about to discover some things are far more dangerous than human nature. It begins in a cursed jungle. What was supposed to be a search for hidden treasure becomes a nightmare when James and his companions awaken an ancient evil that has been waiting in the darkness for decades. As people begin to disappear, die, or become possessed, James comes face-to-face with Mama Ghoula, a terrifying supernatural entity who recognizes something within his blood that even he does not understand. Before she disappears, she reveals a truth that will change the course of his life forever. James is connected to an ancient power. And somewhere in the world exists a mysterious stone capable of granting unimaginable power—but every gift it offers comes with a price. James believes he has escaped the jungle. He is wrong. The nightmare has only begun. Far from the cursed wilderness, another world is preparing to descend into chaos. The Pitch is a powerful global syndicate built on wealth, blood, fear, and absolute control. At its center stands Arthur, the Fallen Patriarch—a ruthless man who has spent decades constructing an empire powerful enough to make nations tremble. But Arthur's empire is about to collapse.
