Description
Reborn into a world that never stops hunting the monstrous, Rachaela carries the future of an ancient vampiric bloodline—yet her daughters are not simply heirs, but living contradictions shaped by tragedy, obsession, and impossible time. As the Scarabae’s centuries of survival hinge on blood, breeding, and belief, two sisters emerge with uncanny gifts and divergent temperaments: one consumed by rage, the other devoted to art and calm—each drawn toward a destiny they never chose. When the progenitor known as Cain reclaims Anna, he offers a new vision for his clan that threatens to rewrite what the family is, what it owes, and what it will become. In Tanith Lee’s signature Gothic dark-fantasy style—lush, lyrical, and morally charged—this story explores identity, inheritance, and the seductive danger of myth, where love and violence blur and the past refuses to stay buried.
