The Black Magnolia has fallen.
But something older is still alive beneath Natchez.
For more than a century, Ellie Landry and the women of the Black Magnolia Society believed Corrine Duval was the source of the curse that bound them to the city. They were wrong.
Corrine was only the first to open the door.
Now the ancient thing beneath the earth is losing its hold, and it wants something new: Lila Landry, a four-year-old girl with an extraordinary connection to the dead and a road only she can see.
As Ellie’s immortality begins to fail and Sarafina’s memories of the man she loved start slipping away, the surviving women must uncover the truth hidden beneath the original 1864 bargain. The Black Magnolia was never the source of their power.
It was only the graft.
The real darkness lies deeper.
And if they cannot sever the First Root, the curse will not end with them.
It will begin again with Lila.
The First Root is the haunting third book in the Black Magnolia Society series, a Southern Gothic tale of ghosts, grief, buried family secrets, and the terrible things that grow when the past refuses to die.
Genre: Horror
