From preadolescence to her mid-twenties, Raven tells the bulk of her family's story, putting the siblings on the path to control the world's murderous organization. Raven describes her mum as a sweet, kind soul who, while ignorant of the details of her husband's activities, is the family's matriarch. She establishes etiquette guidelines and entertains friends and colleagues for dinner parties. She submits to her husband in private playtime, calling him 'Master' while they enjoy their time together. Outside the home, friends and acquaintances recognize her as a giving soul, ready to help whenever necessary. As a child, Raven had little love for her younger brother. As they grew, her mum instilled a sense of responsibility to watch over her son. He was quiet, moody, and extremely talented. Despite her ability to read others, Raven had difficulty reading her brother. What she knew as they grew into adulthood was that they were two peas in a pod. However, with her father, Raven recognized an air of mystery about him, a darkness that mimicked her own. Ever curious about what he did, she'd pester him with questions and sneak about to watch her parent's pleasures in the bedroom. What she observed profoundly impacted her life, affirming that her feelings were normal. The novel is a fast-paced story that keeps readers begging for more. The characters are well-developed, capturing the gritty edges of a black soul. Overall, it is an exciting and suspenseful novel that will keep the reader engaged right to the end.

The Montoyas are used to a life without explanations. They know better than to ask why the pantry never seems to run low or empty, or why their matriarch won’t ever leave their home in Four Rivers—even for graduations, weddings, or baptisms. But when Orquídea Divina invites them to her funeral and to collect their inheritance, they hope to learn the secrets that she has held onto so tightly their whole lives. Instead, Orquídea is transformed, leaving them with more questions than answers. Seven years later, her gifts have manifested in different ways for Marimar, Rey, and Tatinelly’s daughter, Rhiannon, granting them unexpected blessings. But soon, a hidden figure begins to tear through their family tree, picking them off one by one as it seeks to destroy Orquídea’s line. Determined to save what’s left of their family and uncover the truth behind their inheritance, the four descendants travel to Ecuador—to the place where Orquídea buried her secrets and broken promises and never looked back. Alternating between Orquídea’s past and her descendants’ present, The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina is an enchanting novel about what we knowingly and unknowingly inherit from our ancestors, the ties that bind, and reclaiming your power.

Book excerpt: In Inherited Shadows, Elias Hartley delves deep into the inherited pain that haunts generations, inspired by Rahhal's poignant exploration of familial trauma.

Inherited Shadows offers a unique blend of intimate storytelling and scholarly critique, providing a rich perspective on how literature and personal experience intersect to confront and heal from deep-seated wounds.
