Son of the Morning
Son of the Morning
A Black Southern Gothic romantasy novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of You Made a Fool of Death With Your Beauty.
Galilee, Gali for short, has been raised by a formidable clan of women, the Kincaids, in the American South. Growing up, there was always something different about Gali, but it's a secret that her family of women has never shared with her. Gali assumes that it will always be like this, living with an ache and emptiness inside her, never finding something full enough to fill that hollow...
Until, that is, she meets Lucifer Helel. He's supposedly the head of security for her wealthy friend Oriaku's family, but he is far too beautiful to be the mere mortal that he appears. From the moment they lay eyes on each other, both of them know: the other one is not human.
Their lives are going to change foreverβand for eternity, threatening everyone around them: Gali's family, her friends, and perhaps the whole world, after their heated first encounter threatens the very foundations of Heaven and Hell.

Born and raised in Nigeria, their work spans literature, music, film, and visual art. After performing at Afropunk Brooklyn in 2023 for their first live show, AKWAEKE's debut EP Stop Dying, You Were Very Expensive! drops on March 8, 2024.

Their romance novel You Made A Fool Of Death With Your Beauty was a Sunday Times bestseller, a 2023 NAACP Image Award nominee and the screen adaptation sold in a seven-figure deal to Amazon Studios, with AKWAEKE executive producing alongside Michael B. Jordan's Outlier Society.Also by Akwaeke Emezi
