New Book Slayed by L’Mireille Tells a Powerful Story of Justice, Healing, and Black Gen X Resilience

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.

About the Book

Slayed is a fearless and unapologetic tale of survival, accountability, and redemption. Riding the wave of the #MeToo movement, it chronicles Sienna's path toward confronting a traumatic experience that has tormented her for three decades. With the world finally ready to listen, Sienna must choose whether she's prepared to tell her story.

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.

About the Author

L'Mireille, a native of Durham, North Carolina, is a fresh voice in the world of fiction. A proud graduate and former Historically Black College and Universities (HBCUs) employee, she brings a unique perspective and rich cultural heritage to her writing.

Slayed, her debut novel, showcases her talent for weaving compelling narratives that explore deep emotions and complex themes. Beyond her literary pursuits, L'Mireille has a passion for sports, old-school hip-hop music, and Black culture. These interests infuse her work with vibrant energy and authenticity.

L'Mireille’s love for storytelling and her dedication to her craft make her an exciting new author to watch. Slayed marks the beginning of what promises to be an impactful writing career.
