Dark Blood Curse - Mwindajis, #2 - E-book - ePub

While Makeda focuses on sorcery, the mwindaji regroup after their failed assault in Kentucky. Korlemo, a thousand-year-old Ibori vampire, escaped. Makeda reconnects with her deceased great-grandmother. She travels to Memphis to apprentice under two sorcerers. While there, Makeda realizes the sorcerers are keeping secrets, and their motives are suspicious. But with a demon threatening her life, Makeda is eager to learn.
However, the cost is significant. Since the attack in Kentucky, the ka'trete agreement between werewolves and vampires disintegrates, jeopardizing a thousand-year truce. Central to the dispute is a witch with a sinister agenda. Stakes escalate, threatening to unleash a civil war. The mwindaji's pursuit of Korlemo leads them to a growing menace in upstate New York. They uncover a larger conspiracy of werewolves and vampires uniting to kill humans.
Korlemo may be the least of their worries. Back in North Carolina, Makeda rekindles her budding romance with Sheriff Michael Walker. Desirous of a committed relationship, Makeda struggles with how much to share. Because the last time she explained monsters to him, Michael almost died. The more her sorcery skills grow, the greater the threats. Alliances fray and danger spreads. Makeda considers an alliance with the mortal enemies of the mwindajis.
The risks are tremendous. Support the mwindaji or pursue sorcery and claim her heritage. Factions take sides, each clambering for control and the safety of their own lineages. Mistakes lead to tragic consequences. Makeda seeks support from a dear friend as the duplicity of a loved one unravels.
