About the Book
Three women. Seven centuries. One unbreakable blood curse…
It began in fire… Paris, 1307. When eleven-year-old Princess Isabella of France watches four men burn at the stake, a dying knight curses her bloodline: love will destroy everything she holds dear.
It was forged in madness… Bedlam, 1865. Lois wakes in Bedlam Asylum with no memory of who she is only a precious red stone and the growing certainty that something ancient is hunting her. Can it end before blood is spilled?
Present day. Artist Emma Harris arrives at a crumbling French château for her wedding and the exhibition of her life. But the walls remember everything, and something has followed her here.
