A decaying corpse. A sister’s descent into madness. A hunger that cannot be satisfied.
The Netherlands, 1887—When Lucy’s twin sister, Sarah, falls ill with a strange fever, she becomes obsessed with a centuries-old corpse discovered on her husband’s estate. She refuses to eat, whispers in the night, and grows disturbingly different. The doctor calls it temporary insanity. Lucy fears it’s something far worse.
As Sarah’s condition worsens—her eyes gleaming with hunger, her anger sharp as fangs—Lucy realizes she’s not battling sickness. Something ancient, something monstrous, has taken hold of her sister. But is it possession… or madness?
A Publishers Weekly Starred Review novel that merits comparison to Dracula, Blood on Her Tongue is a chilling gothic horror that blends terror, obsession, and blood-soaked secrets into an unforgettable nightmare.
