Red Ink

By: Brooks, Madison

Evelyn Hart came to Europe to finish a thesis, not to become part of one. A brilliant doctoral student of folklore, Evelyn has built her academic career on separating myth from history. Her subject is blood mythology in European aristocratic families: whispered hereditary curses, sacred bloodlines, and rituals hidden behind respectable names. When the elusive Lucien Valmont offers unprecedented access to his family archives, she sees the opportunity of a lifetime. At the isolated Valmont estate, Evelyn finds exactly what she hoped for-private manuscripts, forbidden records, and generations of carefully buried secrets. What she does not expect is Lucien himself: cultivated, enigmatic, and far too familiar with the legends she studies. The more she uncovers, the more her research begins to read like confession rather than history. Because the Valmonts did not merely inspire old blood myths. They survived them. As storms close in around the estate and a centuries-old inheritance awakens, Evelyn must decide how much truth she is willing to publish-and how much blood she is willing to shed to escape. For some families, power is written in titles. For the Valmonts, it is written in red ink.
