From Our Blood

By Shardai Smith

From Our Blood is a smoldering, fang-sharp debut that combines the social critique of The Other Black Girl with the occult academia of the Ninth House series.

Old money, older evil.

Ari Gnight does not belong at Easton College. A Black transfer student with a mysterious past and an empty bank account, Ari is a conspicuous misfit among Easton's white and famously wealthy student body. But Ari is determined to outrun her past and secure the future she deserves--even if that means compromising her morals and keeping her true self hidden.

When a body is found on campus, Ari uncovers a trail of missing Black students and a sinister pattern woven into Easton's history. The administration will do anything to keep it buried, but the deeper Ari digs, the darker the truth: A hunger has fed on Black students for generations, and now it's turned its attention to her.

From Our Blood is a smoldering and critical debut about the legacy of prestige, the rot at the heart of elite institutions, and the cost of tearing them down.
