In an era when truth-speaking and justice are perhaps more necessary than ever before, Slayed by debut novelist L'Mireille comes in the form of a fierce and timely novel of trauma, redemption, and self-reclamation. Against the rich and harkening backdrop of 1990s HBCU culture, this riveting tale braids together survival, love, and cultural pride in a profoundly cathartic experience for readers of every generation.
At the center of Slayed is Sienna, a woman who has been trying to escape for decades the night that very nearly destroyed her. But when the past catches up with her, she is compelled to uncover long-buried truths. What ensues is not merely a battle for justice but a process of personal reckoning, healing, and empowerment.
Whether it's the emotional weight of Sienna's journey from victim to survivor, the complex love story created in the wake of trauma, or the cultural depth of Black Gen X nostalgia, Slayed is not just a novel—it's a movement.

With the beat of vintage hip hop, the style and energy of the '90s, and the revered rituals of HBCU existence, Slayed is a multi-faceted novel that's as engaging as it is deeply affecting. Love, justice, and cultural identity intersect in this not-to-be-forgotten story.
