Blood on Her Tongue

Description

In the Netherlands of 1887, Lucy’s twin sister Sarah falls gravely ill—refusing food, speaking in fragments, and fixating on a centuries-old corpse found on her husband’s estate. While a doctor dismisses it as fever-driven madness, Lucy suspects the truth is far darker: something may be taking hold of Sarah from within, and the “cure” could be worse than the illness. As Lucy digs into family history, buried discoveries, and the secrets her sister refuses to name, she must also confront what she’s been hiding herself. Blending gothic dread with psychological tension, this novel explores obsession, bodily autonomy, and the thin line between possession and insanity—told in a vivid, atmospheric style that turns a domestic bond into a battlefield of fear.
