Dark Blood Awakens

Michelle Corbier

Sinossi

Dark Blood Awakens is a paranormal urban fantasy incorporating Black girl magic with myths from the African diaspora.
As a child, Makeda’s mom forced her to abandon sorcery. Instead, she pursued a career in nursing while killing monsters with her family of mwindaji. For over a millennium, the mwindaji have hunted Korlemo, a 1000-year-old vampire.

While working in Haiti, Makeda’s desire to recapture her sorcery skills increases. When a lead takes her to a Kentucky rural hospital searching for Korlemo, she uses Baoumali, the language of sorceresses, to reclaim her heritage. During her investigation, Makeda develops a steamy romance with the local sheriff and uncovers a macabre secret the hospital administration will kill to keep silent.

With time running out, Makeda must recapture her sorcery and choose where her alliances lie. If the mwindaji cannot destroy the monsters haunting the hospital, people will die—starting with her boyfriend.

The Secret Agent

Joseph Conrad

In the shadows of London, a quiet shopkeeper is living a dangerous double life.

Adolf Verloc appears ordinary—a husband, a small business owner, a man who keeps to himself. But behind the dusty windows of his shop lies a web of espionage, anarchists, and secret orders from foreign powers. Pressured to prove his usefulness, Verloc becomes entangled in a reckless plot that spirals far beyond his control.

As the scheme unfolds, the consequences ripple through the lives closest to him—especially his wife, Winnie, whose quiet loyalty is tested in ways she never imagined. What begins as political intrigue quickly becomes a devastating story of betrayal, manipulation, and the human cost of extremism.
Joseph Conrad was a renowned novelist known for his psychologically complex stories and explorations of moral conflict. Writing in English as his third language, Conrad produced influential works such as Heart of Darkness, Lord Jim, and The Secret Agent. Published in 1907, The Secret Agent is widely regarded as one of the earliest and most powerful novels about political extremism and modern terrorism.
