PERFECT FOR FANS OF CASSANDRA CLAIRE AND TRACY DEONN!

'An extravaganza' - Chloe Gong

Riveting. Unflinching. Powerful - Ayana Gray

Sings with hope and barely disguised rage - TJ Klune

Gods meddle, and magic will betray you, but this time justice will reign.

Thirty years ago, a young woman was murdered, a family was lynched, and New Orleans saw the greatest magical massacre in its history.

On the anniversary of these brutal events, Clement and Cristina Trudeau - the sixteen-year-old twin heirs to the dethroned family - are mourning their father and caring for their sick mother. Until they discover their mother isn't sick - she's been cursed.

Now the twins must trust in each other and their family's magic to uncover the truth. And if they don't succeed... history may repeat itself.

Praise for Blood Debts

'Riveting and relevant' - Kirkus Reviews, Starred review

'An author to watch' - Roseanne A. Brown

'Steeped in magic that's every bit as dark as it is moving' - Alexis Henderson

'The real magic is this book-don't let it slip through your fingers' - Mark Oshiro

'Intricately woven threads of magic, intergenerational trauma, and well-placed social commentary' - Nic Stone
