BLOOD AT THE ROOT

This outstanding audiobook opens with an impassioned introduction narrated by its author, LaDarrion Williams. Listeners will be invested from the very first line. Narrator Jalyn Hall introduces Malik, whose mother disappeared the same night he discovered he has magical powers he can't control. Since then, he has lived in foster care and kept his abilities a secret. Now 17, Malik rescues his foster brother, Taye, and is determined to create a different future for them both. At first, Hall infuses Malik with anger and confusion that match his early experiences. As the story continues, Hall gives Malik more emotion and a sense of purpose as he seeks to understand his family legacy, embrace his power, and build a future.
