Blood at the Root -Autographed Copies Sprayed Edges

Discover a magic school unlike any other. In this thrilling and fresh contemporary fantasy perfect for fans of Legendborn and HBO's Lovecraft Country, a teenager on the run from his past discovers the family he never knew existed and the community he never knew he needed at a magical HBCU in the South.

When he was seven years old, Malik’s power manifested for the first time—the same night his mother disappeared, leaving behind only questions and a room of bodies. After ten years fending for himself and attempting to control and hide his magic, the only family he has now is his foster brother Taye. Until his attempt to save Taye from an abusive foster home leads them both straight to Malik’s a famous conjurer he’s never heard of with ties to the hidden magical college his mother once attended.

At Caiman University, Malik finally has a chance to learn about his heritage, his powers, and maybe the truth about what happened to his mother. As he digs into the past he finds there's a lot beneath the surface at feuding covens and magical politics, forbidden knowledge and buried mysteries. But he also discovers a future he never imagined for himself—one that includes his first love, Alexis, whose activism exposes the cracks in the magical community as it faces an old threat reawakened.

In this wholly unique saga of family, history, community, and the roots and secrets that connect us, can Malik embrace his legacy and his abilities before evil forces destroy what's left of his old family as well as his new one?
