(Legendborn, book 1)
Tracy Deonn
"Legendborn is intoxicating, electrifying, and resonates with a deep understanding and vulnerable adoration of what it is to be a Black girl searching for the magic of herself. Tracy Deonn captivates you from page one with her perfect pacing, exhilarating plotting, and a command of storytelling that cannot be ignored. This book will hold everything you are hostage until, page by page, you discover how it has actually set you free."

(Song Below Water, book 1)
Bethany C Morrow
"The world is lush and intense, the voice intoxicating, and the message eternal. Morrow will have you under her spell from page one."
