Description
He thought he'd already survived the worst. He was wrong.
Connor Devlin is a broken man, war veteran, bestselling author, and widower drowning in guilt. When his therapist finally cuts him loose, Connor vanishes into the North Carolina backwoods, carrying nothing but regret... and the ancient Seal of Solomon burned into his flesh. A mark with a past as dark as his own.
But the storm he's trying to outrun rides with him. Snow pounds the mountains, shadows stalk his every step, and the cursed town of Lure Falls waits with teeth bared. Trapped with a stray dog at his side and something primal clawing at his door, Connor realises the real monster isn't outside.
It's the one he brought with him.
Legends of the Lure is the first book in the Seal of the Chosen series by Max Sinclair, a supernatural horror thriller perfect for fans of Dean Koontz, Stephen King, and dark, atmospheric suspense.

Person
Max Sinclair has lived through the kind of chaos most only see in headlines-terrorist attacks, coup d'etats, uprisings, and the grinding reality of absolute poverty. He's witnessed the best and worst of humanity, surviving in places where danger isn't just a possibility-it's a way of life.
After years navigating the high-stakes world of Wall Street and nearly three decades in the international economic arena, Max took those raw, firsthand experiences and turned them into gripping fiction. His novels drop readers straight into the action, blending pulse-pounding storytelling with the hard truths of power, money, and survival.
Stranded in Madrid during the 2020 pandemic, Max began writing in earnest, inspired by his son and sharpened by masterclasses with James Patterson, Dan Brown, and Stephen King's On Writing. His debut thriller, Undisclosed Location, was crafted across continents, shaped by his deep knowledge of finance's shadowy corners and a lifetime of adrenaline-fueled reality.
Now deep into his seventh novel, set for release in July 2025, Max continues to create stories that don't just entertain-they immerse, haunt, and leave readers questioning what they thought they knew about the world.
When he's not writing or crunching numbers, Max explores mountains, sails warm seas, and shares his adventures with Flora, his loyal dog. His stories are more than fiction-they're a testament to a life lived on the edge.
