BLACK NEST
Fifteen-year-old Jaden Carter has never felt wanted. Born to teenage parents who see him as a mistake, he spends most of his days alone in their North Carolina home, abandoned and forgotten. But when he stumbles upon a hidden door in his basement, his world is forever changed. The door pulls him into Aje'ra, an ancient, hidden village deep in the heart of Nigeria-a place untouched by time, where the people bow before him in worship. They call him their lost god, the reincarnation of a powerful deity who once ruled over them. At first, Jaden is skeptical, but the village priestess sees the truth in his soul. Under her guidance, he learns the forgotten arts of black magic-powerful, dark sorcery that allows him to reshape reality itself. With every lesson, he feels himself growing stronger, more in control. For the first time in his life, he is more than just an unwanted boy. He is a god. But power comes with a price. As Jaden uncovers the secrets of his past life, he realizes that his return was foretold not as a blessing-but as a warning. Something dark stirs beneath Aje'ra, a force that only he can face. Torn between the family that never wanted him and a destiny that could consume him, Jaden must decide: Will he embrace the darkness within, or will he fight to rewrite his fate?
