Blood Debts
Terry J. Benton-Walker's contemporary fantasy debut, Blood Debts, is "an extravaganza from start to finish" (Chloe Gong) with powerful magical families, intergenerational curses, and deadly drama in New Orleans.
In New Orleans gods meddle and magic will betray you, but this time justice will reign.
Thirty years ago, a young woman was murdered, a family was lynched, and New Orleans saw the greatest magical massacre in its history.
On the anniversary of these brutal events, Clement and Cristina Trudeau - the sixteen-year-old twin heirs to the dethroned family - are mourning their father and caring for their sick mother. Until they discover their mother isn't sick - she's been cursed.
Now the twins must trust in each other and their family's magic to uncover the truth. And if they don't succeed... history may repeat itself.
'Blood Debts is a force and Terry J. Benton-Walker is truly an author to watch' — Roseanne A. Brown, New York Times bestselling author of A Song of Wraiths and Ruin
'Steeped in magic that's every bit as dark as it is moving' — Alexis Henderson, author of The Year of the Witching and House of Hunger

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
