A new genre-defying novel about immortality and hunger.

1532. Santo Domingo de la Calzada. 

A young girl grows up wild and wily–her beauty is only outmatched by her dreams of escape. But Maria knows she can only ever be a prize, or a pawn, in the games played by men. When an alluring stranger offers an alternate path, Maria makes a desperate choice. She vows to have no regrets.

 1837. London. 

 A young woman lives an idyllic but cloistered life on her family’s estate, until a moment of forbidden intimacy sees her shipped off to London. Charlotte’s tender heart and seemingly impossible wishes are swept away by an invitation from a beautiful widow–but the price of freedom is higher than she could have imagined. 

 2019. Boston. 

 College was meant to be a fresh start, a test of growth–it’s why Alice has moved halfway across the world, has thrown herself at a new future. After a one-night stand leaves her with an unfamiliar appetite, and an uncanny sense of change, Alice throws herself into the hunt for answers. It’s the story of a lifetime, if she could only decide to be the main character after all.
