Jahlani Ashen Blood

In Harlem, the night belongs to the Duskborn. Descended from fallen angels, this vampire family runs the city’s clubs, politics, and shadows—envied for their power and feared for the one gift no other vampires possess: walking in the sun. But under the velvet glow of Harlem’s nightlife, betrayal and prophecy are already at work. Jahlani, the youngest son, is cursed: half-reptile, half-werewolf, reborn a vampire. Haunted by visions of fire and horsemen, he is told by a mysterious prophet that only he can stop the world from ending—but not how. His sister Amara schemes to seize their family’s throne, his brother Tariq rejects the crown he never wanted, and their father Bishop—Harlem’s most beloved man—hides a monstrous secret. He is not just the family’s patriarch; he is the leader of the Four Horsemen and the final seal binding Lucifer. As witches whisper, wolves rebel, and reptilian politicians tighten their grip on humanity, Jahlani must decipher a prophecy that grows clearer with every death. To save the world he may have to destroy the man who raised him. Bloodlines, beats, and betrayal collide in a hip-hop gothic saga of power, prophecy, and the price of redemption.
