James Latley is the 35th in the Latley Clan line, carrying forward a legacy that goes back a thousand years to when his ancestors made a pact between humans and demons. Legend has it that after witnessing the brutal suffering humans endured, he chose to act—using his position to help them escape rather than accept their fate.
What he's most remembered for is embedding secret codes throughout his writings. Kids on the plantations could decode these messages to find their way to freedom. It's a remarkable part of his story that blends his scholarly work with genuine resistance against the system he was born into.
