Readers drawn to historical fiction and gothic medical narratives will find this a compelling read.
BookLife · Publishers Weekly Editor’s PickA riveting page-turner. Loya is a masterful storyteller, piling on the stakes for our hapless protagonist.
The Driftless Area ReviewA beautifully brooding historical novel that blends romance, suspense, and the creeping dread of a world on the brink of collapse… darkly romantic and steeped in suspense, a haunting exploration of desire, madness, and the choices that echo long after they’re made.
