A strange email from a college student pulls Mythical agents Himora Clarke and Trevor Coleman into a hidden world of doors, memory spells, and a powerful vampire family who'll do anything to keep their secrets buried. What begins as a simple lead unravels into a generational story meant to stay buried. Secrets that refuse to die, and sins that never stop feeding. As our unlikely agents are pulled closer to each other, their bond stirs a darkness that could be the very thing that destroys them both, just as it did once before.

In 1943, when a frail old white woman shows up in Red Clay, Alabama, at the home of a Black former slave—on the morning following his funeral—his family hardly knows what to expect after she utters the words “… a lifetime ago, my family owned yours.” Adelaide Parker has a story to tell—one of ambition, betrayal, violence, and redemption—that shaped both the fate of her family and that of the late Felix H. Parker. But there are gaps in her knowledge, and she’s come to Red Clay seeking answers from a family with whom she shares a name and a history that neither knows in full.

But as its 10th anniversary nears, a series of shocking murders rocks the island. Enter Jamison Wright. An elite profiler lured away from the FBI with an offer no one could refuse: a new life in Kingsland for him and his family.

Vividly written and exhaustively researched, Jonathan Eig’s King: A Life is the first major biography in decades of the civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.—and the first to include recently declassified FBI files. In this revelatory new portrait of the preacher and activist who shook the world, the bestselling biographer gives us an intimate view of the courageous and often emotionally troubled human being who demanded peaceful protest for his movement but was rarely at peace with himself.

Amazing book

The Narrator’s Favorite Performance of 2019
"I have never narrated anything quite like it."
"I had several intriguing projects in 2019. But the one that stands out above all others is Marlon James's fantastic Black Leopard, Red Wolf. The first in a trilogy, BLRW is a mythical Africa-inspired grown-up fantasy and a straight up fever dream; narrating it was an incredible experience. I have never narrated anything quite like it. Scary monsters and super freaks, complicated humans and fantastic, complicated beasts all on a dangerous rueful ride straight through the heart. So many characters, such range of emotion, such beauty and humor and terror. It's a masterpiece. I hope my storytelling is as dynamic as the story is compelling—and that listeners enjoy it. I did!"
