We go by a different set of rules here―ones steeped in magic, history, and well . . . blood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaggie Grey always dismissed her grandmother’s tales as superstition. Bedtime stories of vampiric priests, midnight covens, and secret conjurers from her youth during the Civil Rights Era. Even Maggie’s stark white hair felt like nothing more than an inherited quirk. But when her grad school presentation retelling those stories catches the interest of her professor, she discovers the truth buried within them. He directs Maggie to Drew Collins University, a hidden HBCU beneath the streets of Atlanta where the legends come to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt DCU, necromancy is a major, students with claws and fangs roam the campus, and Maggie leans on a new circle of unlikely allies: Souxie, a mysterious priestess; Asha, a scarred siren; Isis, a water-bending nymph; and Quan, a snarky talking cat. Soon, Maggie learns she comes from the most feared bloodline in the Underground: the First Family, a lineage of vampires whose power has haunted the community for generations. That makes her not only dangerous but a target, especially to Namir, the sharp-eyed werewolf whose family has long despised hers. Distrust simmers between them, even as an undeniable pull grows harder to ignore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a murder shatters the campus, suspicion lands on Maggie. Not just because of what she is but because of the family she comes from. In a world where legacy is everything, hers might be the deadliest of all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kindred Stories","offers":[{"title":"RSVP ONLY","offer_id":48937758621951,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0527\/3577\/0820\/files\/SeptemberNONFICTION.png?v=1785863482","url":"https:\/\/kindredstorieshtx.com\/products\/september-2026-kindreds-pick-book-club-september-15-7pm","provider":"Kindred Stories","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
