2126: An Afroqueer Afro-Futurism Fantasy Novel

By DiAndre X

In 333 BC, a coven of witches in North Africa attempts to resurrect their matriarch using dark blood magic. The spell goes awry, and she returns fused with the spirit of Death. Known as The Mother, she is pregnant with twins who are born without heartbeat or breath, cursed to forever crave life's warmth through blood, lust, and power. In 2126, the dynasty thrives in Neo-Alexandria, a city ruled by corporate monarchs where global trade uses Nadir, a quantum-backed crypto currency representing collective human vitality output. The House of the Mother amasses wealth and influence over energy, biotech, fashion, and media. They turn icons into vampires through a venom that is actually brain fluid, linking them to their sires' memories.

Cleopatra emerges as a socialite and philanthropist who feeds on the corrupt while navigating her deepening feelings for a human witch named Flame Amor from the coven that created her kind. Flame is strong-willed and passionate about her craft, making Cleopatra question her place in both the mortal and immortal worlds. Her best friend Bayard Rustin, a fierce advocate for justice and equality, struggles with unspoken desire for Cleopatra while wrestling with his belief that humanity must face the consequences of its sins. Together, they challenge societal norms as they seek to create a better world.
