Tainted

Khalia Moreau is a physician and author based in New York City. Her debut novel, The Princess of Thornwood Drive, was selected as an Amazon Editors' Pick and an Amazon Editors' Best Pick for Science Fiction & Fantasy. Her YA debut, He Burns by the River--a reimagining of the Cain and Abel story set in 1963 Trinidad--is a novel she considers a love letter to her family and the island that shaped them. Tainted marks her first foray into romantic dystopian fantasy, blending slow-burn romance with monsters, angels, and the question of what it truly means to be human. When she's not at the hospital or writing, you can usually find her watching anime or K-dramas or curled up with her cats. Follow her on Instagram at @awkauthkcm for updates on upcoming books.
