Writer and therapist Sahaj Kaur Kohli grew up knowing exactly what it means to straddle multiple cultures at once. Like many children of immigrants, she has often found herself plagued by questions: Can I establish my own values and embrace where I come from? Is prioritizing my mental health really rejecting my culture? How do I set boundaries and care for myself when family and community mean everything? Even after becoming a therapist herself, she saw those same gaps in the mental health world, leading her to wonder, like so many children of immigrants: what about us?

Resumen del Editor
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A teenager on the run from his past finds the family he never knew existed and the community he never knew he needed at an HBCU for the young, Black, and magical. Enroll in this fresh fantasy debut unlike anything you've seen before.
Ten years ago, Malik's life changed forever the night his mother mysteriously vanished and he discovered he had uncontrollable powers. Since then, he has kept his abilities hidden, looking out for himself and his younger foster brother, Taye. Now, at 17, Malik is finally ready to start a new life for both of them, far from the trauma of his past. However, a daring act to rescue Taye reveals an unexpected connection with his long-lost grandmother: a legendary conjurer with ties to a hidden magical university that Malik’s mother attended.
At Caiman University, Malik’s eyes are opened to a future he never could have envisioned for himself—one that includes the reappearance of his first love, Alexis. His search for answers about his heritage, his powers, and what really happened to his mother exposes the cracks in their magical community as it faces a reawakened evil dating back to the Haitian Revolution. Together with Alexis, Malik discovers a lot beneath the surface at Caiman: feuding covens and magical politics, forbidden knowledge and buried mysteries.
In a wholly unique saga of family, history and community, Malik must embrace his legacy to save what's left of his old family as well as his new one. Exploring the roots and secrets that connect us in an unforgettable contemporary setting, this heart-pounding fantasy series opener is a rich tapestry of atmosphere, intrigue, and emotion.
Reseñas de la Crítica

“This story offers a fresh take on familiar YA fantasy tropes, like a secret magical school and a long-lost grandmother.”—BuzzFeed
“Exuberant contemporary fantasy series opener....a serpentine, high-intensity celebration of Black culture, history, and power."—Publishers Weekly

Stories of "The American West" often rely on tired tropes of tough cowboys, but real history is much less straight and narrow and way more interesting. Join host Niecy Nash-Betts for a wild round-up of LGBTQ+ lives that got buried in the dust of popular culture and history, and a look at how queer people continue to shape the West today–from gay rodeo to two-spirit identity to trans truckers.

Nestled between Little St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island, Salix Pointe is not a place that many people know of. Part of the Golden Isles of Georgia, all the weeping willows that grow there have led the surrounding town’s folk to call it the Island of Death. Elisa and Tasmin may not want to put too much stock into the folklore of Salix Pointe, but there is a reason that the universe has brought the two women together.

Harry Who??? Is all I gotta say. No shade. no tea.
Loved the influence of historical reference, the embrace of black culture in so many facets, and the subtle challenge to do your own research. Digging into the complicated relationships sons have with their moms, wow. I hate to wait 5 years for the sequel. so I hope you're already writing.

Amazing story!
First off I preordered a physical copy of this book for my son. YA right up his alley…. Lots of cussing. So nope not for him. But what little I read before had me getting the audiobook so I could read while at work and see this world that Williams wrote and omg what a ride! This book is so real and painted this magnificent picture in my mind. I look forward to seeing how this characters grow and 10/10 would read anything Williams writes in the future!

The Magical HBCU with Potential
I've eagerly awaited this book, especially since a Magical HBCU is something many of us have been looking forward to. Overall, I enjoyed it, and all of my criticisms come from wanting more from the series. Williams spent so much time building the magical world, but he’s inconsistent in the magical rules.
Fans of the genre know that magic is supposed to have balance and limitations; however, the author often uses magic as a get-out-of-jail-free card for the plot. It's unrealistic to see the main character, Malik, who we’re told is a magical novice, consistently outsmart characters and institutions that have stood for centuries. You can’t say “magic has a price” and only have that payoff at the climax. Magic should constantly reinforce its rules. Do the colors of different magics have meaning? Do students have to buy magical ingredients? Is it all hands, incantations, what’s the stance on wands? All of these aspects are important to world-building. Willams may benefit from creating a book that explains how the he thinks the magic in this world works, not just what they can do, but how they tie into each other.
Also, while I appreciate the attempt to paint a vivid picture, some of the cultural references feel forced and unnatural. The use of slang is clunky and lacks fluency. I'm not saying his references aren’t good, but there's room to work on writing dialogue.
Despite these criticisms, the story is great, and the stakes feel high. I understand Malik, and he’s both flawed and a character worth rooting for; he’s relatable and endearing. The latter half of the book brings everything together in a satisfying way.
In conclusion, while this book has its flaws, it is a promising start to what could be an exceptional series. I hope the author learns from this book and grows because the series has a lot of potential. With some adjustments, the author could create a truly immersive and captivating world that readers will eagerly return to, offering us a modern take on black magic that so many of us readers have been praying for.

Excellent Storytelling
I loved this book. The characters are believable and the plot line is well rounded without being too predictable. I found myself wanting to know more about the universe while wishing it was real. I appreciated all the cultural and historical references that spanned centuries and topics. Can’t wait for the next installment and merchandise! Kudos to the author! Well done

Good Shit Fam
I love fantasy books, it's the only genre I listen to. I'm happy to have a book with a black MC based in the real-ish world. The author and narrator did a beautiful job. Being named Ashton, I felt extra special with the books dedication.

Need Book 2 like YESTERDAY.
I loved this story. All my life I’ve wanted to see myself in magical characters. This was beautifully written. I was two pages in and I was already feeling some kind of way. Keep going, LaDarrion.
