Description

Blood and Bourbon is a gritty supernatural noir set during the Harlem Renaissance--a tale of vengeance, forbidden love, and the fight to protect a city caught between jazz and justice, bullets and blood.

Harlem, 1927. The jazz is hot, the liquor is illegal, and the shadows are deeper than they seem. Solomon Graves is a Black vampire and former slave turned underground king, running a speakeasy empire in the heart of the Harlem Renaissance. After decades of drifting through a world that treated his kind--both vampire and Black--as expendable, Solomon has carved out his own piece of the night.

But peace never lasts.

When Nyah, an ancient African vampire queen, arrives in Harlem seeking revenge for the husband Solomon killed back in 1850, the city becomes a battleground. Nyah doesn't want justice--she wants to destroy everything Solomon has built, and the woman he's come to love, a jazz singer named Eve Moreau.

As Nyah's war escalates, Solomon must confront the sins of his past, the weight of centuries of trauma, and the darkness within himself. Torn between the man he wants to be and the monster he was made to become, Solomon has one choice: fight for Harlem--or let it all burn.
Caught between a brutal turf war with the mob and a supernatural vendetta centuries in the making, Solomon must confront the monster within and reckon with the sins of his past.
