It’s Legendborn meets One for My Enemy with the messy magic and slow burn vampire romance of Charm by Tracy Wolff—but told through the lens of a Black queer atheist writer and protagonist.
When Diamond Dahlia starts her first week at her new Southern liberal arts college, she finds herself nearly killed by a mind-controlling assassin sent by a secret magical society known as the Adamites. She learns that she’s not only magical—but unprecedented. Diamond is the first hybrid of the Adamites and their long-suppressed rivals, the Everi. With her powers awakening, Diamond joins the Everi to stop the Adamites from finding the biblical Garden of Eden, eating from the Tree of Life, and becoming immortal patriarchs of the world.
Oh—and the annoying but hot guy in her History class? He might be more entangled in all this than she ever expected.
This book features elements of secret societies, rival magical factions, and a slow-burn vampire romance, perfect for readers of Tracy Deon, Olivie Blake and Tracey Wolff. I believe this story aligns with your passion for representing marginalized voices, especially those that bring something fresh and fearless to fantasy.
