Don\u2019t fear your demons\u2026 Fight them! Orphaned as a child and raised on the margins of society, Jack Boniface never knew his place in the world. Until he discovered it waiting for him\u2026in a darkness far older than the reign of men\u2026<\/p>\n

Unbeknownst to him, Jack was fated to become the next in a long lineage of Shadowmen \u2013 mortals bound to violent voodoo spirits of immense power \u2013 that could safeguard our world against incursions from realms beyond. For years, he struggled to control the loa\u2019s murderous urges \u2013 a battle he eventually lost.<\/p>\n
