Twelve to Midnight

Tale of the Wolf King

Three bloodlines. Three bargains. One legacy of darkness that refuses to die.

From bestselling Southern Gothic author M. L. Bullock comes a haunting, atmospheric trilogy tracing the cursed lineage of the Twelves family—a tale that spans centuries, crosses realms, and pits mortal courage against ancient, hungry magic.

MARY TWELVES
Mary has always sensed the shadows circling her family, but when a forbidden artifact awakens the monstrous legacy in her blood, she must choose between safeguarding the living and surrendering to a destiny written long before her birth.

STEPHEN TWELVES
Years later, Stephen grapples with the same curse—one that twists dreams into omens and love into a battleground. As his mind unravels under the weight of the family inheritance, he learns the terrifying truth: the past doesn’t stay buried. It waits.

THE WOLF KING (the origin tale)
Centuries before Mary and Stephen, a doomed kingdom and a betrayed prince forged the first pact with the entity known only as the Midnight Voice. In this brutal, mythic prequel, the last Wolf King battles invaders, grief, and destiny itself—unwittingly igniting the curse that will echo across generations.
