Traveling around the country with her family of mwindaji, hunters, Makeda’s nursing skills come in handy when the group must discover the connection between a one-thousand-year-old vampire and a rural Kentucky hospital. 

A recent catastrophic event awakens her long dormant zauber, sorceress, abilities. In Kentucky, disturbing visions and telepathic messages haunt her investigation. While working on the hospital surgical floor, she uncovers a secret people will kill to maintain. The scale of treachery is possibly more than she and the mwindaji can handle. 

Confused, she tries to reconnect with her deceased great grandmother. In time, she discovers a vampire is not her most worrisome adversary. Torn between exterminating monsters and her oath to protect patients, she must reclaim her sorcery and defeat an ancient vampire before more people die—starting with those dearest to her.

Dark Blood Awakens is the first book in the series weaving African mythology into urban fantasy.
