There is no place in Avery Kohl’s New York for a girl with mysterious powers. Avery knows this fact all too well—she remembers when the men in crow masks came for her mother all those years ago; she remembers when they locked her in an asylum for being able to see what others couldn’t. So Avery denies the signs of developing power in herself, choosing to focus on getting through her shifts at the ironworks factory and keeping her bereaved, inventor father out of trouble. She’s content to keep her head down in Brooklyn, hearing secondhand tales of adventure and rebellion from her best friend Khan, an ex-slave with a penchant for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. But Avery’s powers, just like her mother’s, refuse to be contained. And when she causes an unexplainable explosion at the factory, she has no choice but to run from her lies, straight into the gypsy gang of mystics hiding in dark corners all across the city. In order to free herself from persecution, Avery must embrace her abilities and learn to wield them with the full extent of their power. If she fails, she will not only join her mother in the Tombs—she’ll doom Khan and an entire hidden community to death.

Originally from Brooklyn, I grew up renovating old houses with my family. My father and I would walk the rooms, floor-by-floor; making up stories filled with dark secrets, monsters, and of course, ghosts. I developed a love of history and fantasy, and went on to study architecture in New Orleans – a city saturated with crumbling plantations, creepy cemeteries, and tales of voodoo magic. It was on a trek in Nepal that I imagined a girl with the ability to see energy, and I wondered, what if she could affect this energy? The seed of THE TOMBS was planted. While working as an architect, I remained faithfully buried in books, and began to write. In writing, I discovered an unparalleled outlet for my vivid and admittedly weird imagination. I love dreaming up worlds, and imagining past the confines of what real blueprints can hold. I live with my family and two dogs in Maryland, just outside DC, I collect old bottles, and my favorite holiday is, you guessed it, Halloween. I also love to draw, especially silhouettes – in fact, I drew the illustrations for this website.
