Blood Debts
Terry J. Benton-Walker's contemporary fantasy debut, Blood Debts, is "an extravaganza from start to finish" (Chloe Gong) with powerful magical families, intergenerational curses, and deadly drama in New Orleans.
'An extravaganza' - Chloe Gong
Riveting. Unflinching. Powerful - Ayana Gray
Sings with hope and barely disguised rage - TJ Klune
Gods meddle, and magic will betray you, but this time justice will reign.
Thirty years ago, a young woman was murdered, a family was lynched, and New Orleans saw the greatest magical massacre in its history.
On the anniversary of these brutal events, Clement and Cristina Trudeau - the sixteen-year-old twin heirs to the dethroned family - are mourning their father and caring for their sick mother. Until they discover their mother isn't sick - she's been cursed.
Now the twins must trust in each other and their family's magic to uncover the truth. And if they don't succeed... history may repeat itself.
