'Cooke is known for her ability to craft spellbinding tales filled with dread and terror, but also beauty' Scots Magazine
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.
Seven centuries of destruction. One woman left to fight.
