📚 Conjure Island by Eden Royce

From the award-winning author of Root Magic comes a spellbinding middle grade fantasy about family, identity, and Southern conjure traditions.

When Delphinia Baker is sent to spend the summer with a great-grandmother she’s never met on a small island off the South Carolina coast, she expects awkward family time—not a school for conjure magic. But when Del discovers the magic is real, she finds herself surrounded by witches, ghosts, mysterious creatures, and long-hidden family secrets.

As Del searches for her place in this magical world, a dark presence on the island begins to emerge—and it may be connected to her family’s past.

📚 SIGNED Nubia: The Awakening (Book 1) by Omar Epps & Clarence A. Haynes

A sweeping epic fantasy about three teens—the children of refugees from a lost African utopia—who begin to discover powerful abilities in a climate-ravaged New York City.

After their homeland of Nubia was destroyed by a catastrophic storm, Zuberi, Uzochi, and Lencho grow up as outsiders in a divided future Manhattan, where flooding devastates the lower city while the wealthy live in high-tech towers above.

But something is changing within them. Powers tied to the secrets of their parents—and the fate of their people.

Perfect for fans of Black Panther and Children of Blood and Bone.

🩸📚 PUB DAY 📚🩸

Welcome to the Underground. The Secret World of Maggie Grey by @authorgranger is officially out today, and it’s giving hidden HBCU beneath Atlanta, legacy vampire bloodlines, necromancy majors, and Civil Rights–era magic that refuses to stay buried.

Maggie Grey thought her grandmother’s stories were folklore. Vampiric priests. Midnight covens. Secret conjurers. Turns out? They were history.

Now Maggie’s at Drew Collins University, where claws and fangs are normal, necromancy is a declared major, and her lineage, the most feared vampire bloodline in the Underground, makes her powerful… and a target.

Add a campus murder, a werewolf with generational beef, and a talking cat with opinions? Say less. This is legacy. This is magic rooted in Black history. This is dark academia with teeth.

If you love hidden worlds, bloodline drama, and morally messy tension, today’s the day.
