Making of a Warlock: A Warlock's Beginning (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798895030479)

Heartbreak wasn't supposed to change Victor Russo's life forever-but magic had other plans.

Reeling from the end of a five-year relationship, Victor reluctantly joins his friends on a birthday getaway to New Orleans, a city steeped in mystery, magic, and secrets that refuse to stay buried. A visit to an enigmatic tarot reader, Madame Jeanette, shatters Victor's sense of reality when her cards reveal truths that cut straight to his grief, fear, and untapped power.

Though Victor tries to walk away, the magic calls him back.

Soon, Victor discovers that his late grandmother was one of the most powerful witches of her generation-and that her legacy lives on in him. Drawn into a hidden world of warlocks, witches, and ancient curses, Victor must confront a destiny he never asked for and a dark enemy long thought buried: Florence Maryweather, the force that cursed his grandmother and still hungers for power.

As Victor struggles with identity, loss, and self-acceptance, he must decide whether to embrace the magic within him-or risk losing everything.

Making of a Warlock is an LGBTQ+ urban fantasy about found family, queer identity, inherited power, and becoming who you were always meant to be.
