ALN Monthly Book Club: Blood Over Bright Haven (Old Town)

For our March Monthly Book Club, we will be reading M.L. Wang's "Blood over Bright Haven!"

We will be hosting this event IN PERSON, outdoors, at Presidio Park in Old Town! We recommend (but do not require) that attendees wear masks and maintain social distance.

We typically meet at the picnic tables in the shade at the end of the loop made by Cosoy Way. Please see the embedded map below for more details.

Content warning: Gore, Homophobia, Violence, Child Abuse, Stalking. Details not given here to avoid spoilers. Contact an organizer if you have concerns about the book's content.

In a steampunk fantasy world, the prosperous live in a domed city, with powerful scholars able to siphon energy from other realms to power their utopia. Meanwhile, the native tribes who live outside the dome are threatened by a deadly magic plague on the daily, and those who can make it to the dome are treated as second class-citizens. Our leads are an ambitious young scholar trying to make her name in a world of men, and a burdened refugee trying to find a new life after almost losing everything.

We hope to see you there!
