The Black Magnolia Society
By M. L. Bullock
In the shadowed halls of post–Civil War Mobile, five widows gather in secret. Bound by grief—and something far darker—they strike a devilish pact that grants them eternal youth and beauty. Their power endures for generations, hidden behind magnolia blossoms and Southern gentility.
But every gift demands a sacrifice.
When historian James Whitfield stumbles upon whispers of the Black Magnolia Society, he uncovers chilling clues that the city'''s most elegant ladies are not what they seem. Their eternal beauty is bought with blood, and the society will do anything to keep its secret.
Yet one of their own is wavering. Cordelia, who was deceived into sacrificing her husband, longs to end the curse that has bound her for over a century. Torn between loyalty and guilt, she may be James’s only hope to break the pact—if he can survive long enough to trust her.
Immortality comes at a cost. And in the Black Magnolia Society, no secret stays buried forever.
