Immortal Descendants: Baltimore Mysteries #1
Death’s Door
by April White
Ren (Alexandra Reynolds) owns a neighborhood bar in Baltimore. One evening, Edgar Allan
Poe stumbles in—not an early Halloween reveler in costume, but the real thing. In the
course of their acquaintance, both Ren and Poe learn more about themselves. Did I mention
that Ren is descended from a freed slave mother and a white slave-owning father? And that
Poe was an anti-abolitionist?

The notepaper was faded with age, and although I’d never seen it before, I knew he’d
hidden it there the night I met him again, so many, many years before.
