Black Rose – A Novel by Magnus M. Turner
In the heart of Detroit, where power is negotiated in whispers and sealed with handshakes behind velvet curtains, Zayir “Sir” Mercer walks the fine line between street legend and legitimate businessman. By day, he is the refined owner of Black Rose, an upscale restro-lounge known for its exclusivity, its legendary Rose Petal Sessions, and a clientele that includes the city’s most powerful figures. But behind the luxury, Sir’s past still lingers in the shadows—because the empire he built wasn’t born in boardrooms.
Sir is a man with a plan to exit the game for good, transitioning fully into the world of legitimate business. But in a city where everyone plays for power, leaving isn’t as simple as walking away. Loyalty is tested. Betrayal is inevitable. And love? That’s the most dangerous game of all.
Torn between two worlds, Sir must navigate ruthless competitors, shady deals, and a love triangle that threatens to unravel everything he’s built. On one side, Moni, the untouchable Street Queen who understands the risks, the codes, and the cost of this life. On the other, a woman from the business world who could give him the respectability he craves—but at what price?
When an unexpected move shakes the foundation of everything Sir controls, he must decide: Does he fight to keep his empire, or risk it all for the one thing money can’t buy—freedom?
Black Rose is a gritty, seductive, and high-stakes novel filled with power moves, deception, and a love that could either save or destroy a king.
