Blood is life. Bones are strength. Flesh is control. Skin is death.
Every blessed family knows this mantra, and Aubeline, gifted with blood magic and heiress of the Sterraux family, is no exception.
Aubeline becomes the new Countess of Sterraux after her father's unexpected passing. But when her brother Renan challenges her and claims the title of count for himself, his ambitions don't end there. Soon, he also takes control of Aubeline's guardianship over their niece Damarisse, for reasons tied to the family's magic. Backed into a corner, Aubeline must seek allies to protect Damarisse, uncover her brother's hidden agenda, and stop the magical catastrophe instigated by him and his somber allies wielding forbidden, deadly magic.
She never expected her best ally to be Damarisse's new private teacher, Vinnie—a young woman cursed with an uncontrollable gift of clairvoyance. Nor did she expect to fall in love with her, defying the rigid rules of early twentieth-century France.
A LEGACY OF BLOOD AND BONE is an adult historical fantasy set in France during the Belle Époque. It features a horrific magic system, family intrigue and power struggles, and a sweet sapphic romance. With its body-based magic, lesbian and bisexual representations, and gothic atmosphere, it will appeal to fans of Shannon Fay's Marrowbone Spells series, Charlie N. Holmberg's Whimbrel House series, Aliette de Bodard's Dominion of the Fallen trilogy, and Alix E. Harrow's Starling House.
