Murray Hill Fantasy Book Club Meet-up — Sept 2025

In In the Veins of the Drowning, we follow Imogen Nel—a siren forced to live far from the sea to dull her powers—whose quiet exile shatters when a foreign king arrives with a dangerous bargain. Bound to him by blood magic and hunted by those who fear what she is, Imogen is pulled back toward the water she’s been taught to dread.

As she and King Theodore cross undead-infested waters and navigate a kingdom rotting from within, their tenuous alliance deepens into something far more perilous. But every step closer to victory threatens to awaken the monstrous hunger that lurks in her veins.

Dark, seductive, and drenched in atmosphere, In the Veins of the Drowning is a slow-burn romance tangled in myth, magic, and moral shadows.

Whether you’re here for the romance, the ruin, or the revelation, this one will haunt you long after the final page.
