Synopsis
Pride and Prejudice meets Bloodborne in a world torn between modernity and ancient magic.
Anna Vasilyev is a princess, a trained physician, and an unusually gifted bloodmage. But when an arranged marriage to a foreign nobleman goes horrifically awry, she finds herself caught in a web of political revolution and heretical magic. With her wit and her gifts, she might just make it out alive…if the demon in her head doesn’t get her first.
Fantasy horror with elements of romance, historical fiction, and murder mystery, set in a strange mirror of 1700s France.
