Son of the Morning: A spicy and addictive Southern Gothic paranormal romance of angels and demons, forbidden love, heavenly secrets and deadly desires

From Sunday Times bestselling author Akwaeke Emezi comes a steamy paranormal romance set in the Black South – a bold new foray that takes us on a journey of magic and fantasy, from the whispering creeks outside the city of Salvation to the very depths of Hell itself.

Galilee Kincaid is haunted by the pull of something ancient – a whisper in her bones, a secret too vast to name. Raised in the shadow of the Kincaid legacy, a formidable clan of Black women rooted in the weeping willows and rushing creeks, a hollow ache has always pulsed inside her…

Until she meets him. Lucifer Helel. Head of security for her wealthy friend’s family, he guards a mysterious relic older than time itself. From the moment Gali lays eyes on him, something stirs within her. His gaze burns like fire, a predator’s hunger concealed behind the mask of a mortal. In an instant, Gali knows he is not human.

From their very touch, Lucifer sees the truth about Gali – something she doesn’t even know. She’s not human either.

Enter Leviathan, Lucifer’s most trusted prince of Hell. A creature of shadow and fury, Levi has one mission: destroy Galilee before she unravels the delicate balance that binds Heaven, Hell, and Earth.

Because Lucifer and Galilee’s unstoppable attraction is more than forbidden – it’s powerful enough to tear apart the very fabric of existence. As war rages and the world teeters on the edge of eternity, will Galilee embrace the untamed force within her and risk everything to reclaim her true self?
