Description
On her first journey from Jamaica to Europe, Miss Harriet Brandt arrives with a secret nature that turns travel into peril. In a world of shifting social rules and fragile reputations, she discovers that her predatory hunger—framed as both inheritance and affliction—has consequences far beyond any single encounter. Blending Female Gothic suspense with unexpected settings and psychological realism, the novel explores how gender, desire, and “respectability” can become traps as much as protections. As Harriet’s relationships deepen, the story builds toward a haunting reckoning with what it means to harm the people you love, making this a fin-de-siècle vampire tale as tragic as it is thrilling.
