The First Family: A Dark Academia Fantasy

Beneath Atlanta lies a hidden world of magic and murder known as the Underground. And its secrets won’t stay buried forever …

Namir was supposed to get close to Maggie Grey, the newest arrival at Atlanta’s hidden magical HBCU, Drew Collins University. As a descendant of the legendary First Family—feared throughout the Underground—Maggie poses an existential threat to Namir’s werewolf pack, even if she doesn’t yet fully understand the power running through her veins.

But the closer Namir gets to the mysterious white-haired girl, the harder it becomes to separate duty from desire. When a student is found dead and drained on Legacy Row after the two spend a night together, suspicion immediately falls on Maggie and her vampiric bloodline. As rumors spread and secret alliances begin to fracture, Namir’s wolfpack starts questioning where his loyalty truly lies.

Meanwhile, buried grudges and forbidden passions ripple across a campus already teetering on the edge of chaos. With every clue surrounding the Legacy Row murder leading to more questions than answers, Maggie can’t help but wonder: Was she the intended victim? Or is someone trying to frame her … ? And why are the powers controlling the Underground so desperate to keep the truth hidden?
