Description
Set in an alternate 1930s America where magic is real—and tightly controlled by those in power—this historical fantasy follows a young Black girl determined to claim her place in a world that has already decided what she is allowed to become. As she encounters dangerous forces, buried histories, and the harsh realities of Jim Crow society, she must navigate the line between survival and resistance. Blending vivid worldbuilding with themes of racism, agency, belonging, and rebellion, the novel offers a sharp, atmospheric coming-of-age story about who gets to wield power and who pays the price.
