Author Kamilah Cole explores Hartford and Jamaican-American experience in latest novel “An Arcane Inheritance," weaves dark academia with occult secrets at a fictional Ivy League school based in Hartford.

Today, @ctpublic.bsky.social’s Where We Live dives into dark academia with author Kamilah Cole (@wordsiren.bsky.social), whose adult debut, “An Arcane Inheritance,” is based right here in Hartford, Connecticut. It’s romantasy, academic rivals, enemies to lovers, AND unapologetically BIPOC and queer.

begged my editor for a deadline extension and she didn't answer me within ten seconds which obviously means she hates me and thinks i'm a flake she regrets signing, right?

In the foreground, two vampires ride a teal tandem bicycle. In front, a white man with graying hair, a light gray suit, and bright red tie holds a pink slushie and looks adoringly at his husband behind him, who has luscious curly black hair, a plum purple suit, puffy cravat, and is holding a blood red popsicle. In the front basket, a black cat perches with her paws up. Behind them, a festival is underway with bright pink tents and red flags in front of dark green trees. People mill about, some wearing pointy witch hats. Yellow text with a pink drop shadow spells out "SUMMER COVEN" over a dark blue sky with a yellow crescent moon at the top, and at the bottom in yellow text is "Authors of Dead & Breakfast" just above "Kat Hillis & Rosiee Thor"

ON SALE SEPTEMBER 8, 2026

Artist: cocorrina | Designer: Jenny Kimura | Author: Kamilah Cole

Little, Brown Young Readers

Description
Perfect for fans of The Shadows Between Us and Powerless, this high stakes romantasy follows a vengeful teen who cons her way into an elite society of tyrannical witches. But her warring feelings for two people—an enemy prince and her childhood friend—could ruin everything.

Caya was once the ward of Coventry’s royal family…until they were killed by the three witch Houses that now rule the peninsula.

Now eighteen, Caya plans to infiltrate the witches’ glittering world to enact justice. With the help of a mysterious benefactor, she adopts the persona of Marisol Vinyet, a disarmingly beautiful aristocrat. As Marisol, she’ll attend the annual Coronet, a cutthroat social season during which witches increase their power by binding new members to their Houses. The Coronet will draw even the prince of neighboring Domingo—Tomás Castellan—to the peninsula just in time for “Marisol” to kill him. After all, his family set the witches upon Coventry in the first place.

But Tomás is more charming than Caya ever anticipated. Worse, her estranged childhood friend, Bas Arroyo, is the prince’s protector, and she struggles to control her complicated feelings for him.

To take down the witches from within, Caya will have to keep both her identity and her desperate heart under wraps: Although she’s made herself a weapon, she might be the one to bleed.
