Fiend

What if the Roys from Succession got their power from a sinister 1000 year old curse? The Berisha family has held power and riches in their community for many generations, and the characters in Fiend are at once self-entitled and sympathetic. Even the most well-intentioned have blood on their hands, and Fiend was a page-turner from start to finish.
