The Girl from Rawblood

FOR GENERATIONS, THE VILLARCAS HAVE DIED MYSTERIOUSLY, AND YOUNG.

Now Iris and her father will finally understand why …

At the turn of England’s century, young Iris Villarca walks the lonely halls of Rawblood. A curse passed down in ancient blood marks each Villarca for certain heartbreak, even death. And Iris is the last of her family’s line.

Iris forsakes her promise to her father to remain alone, safe from the world. She dares to fall in love, and the consequences of her choice are immediate and terrifying. As the world falls apart around her, she must take a final journey back to Rawblood where it all began and where it must all end …

From the sun-dappled hills of Italy to the biting chill of Victorian dissection halls, The Girl from Rawblood is a lyrical and haunting historical novel of darkness, love, and the ghosts of the past.

“A gothic tale of love and madness, this atmospheric and chilling story drew me in from the first page, and kept me up at night, until I reached the last.”—Claire Fuller, author of Our Endless Numbered Days
