Scions of Blood Alexandra Wulf thought she knew who she was and where she came from. But after her life is torn apart, little remains of the future she once took for granted. When a new job brings her to Willowby, she sees it as a chance to start again. Mitchell Reed needs an interpreter, and for Alexandra, the work offers something tangible to hold on to - a way to leave the past behind and slowly find her way back to living. What she doesn't expect is Adrian Reed. There is something about Mitchell's brother that she can't quite put her finger on. Adrian is charming and fascinating, but also unpredictable, secretive and, at times, frightening. Yet Alexandra is drawn to him almost from the moment they meet. And the more she tries to understand the man behind the smile and those grey eyes, the stronger her feeling becomes that their meeting was no coincidence. When Adrian gives her an old letter, cracks begin to appear in the history Alexandra has always believed to be her own. The letter leads her back through generations, to people whose lives seem strangely entwined with hers. At the same time, it becomes increasingly clear that Adrian knows things about her past he couldn't possibly know - and that the Reed family carries secrets reaching far further back than Alexandra could ever have imagined. But answers come at a price. With every step Alexandra takes towards the truth, the world around her begins to change. Things she once believed impossible suddenly become possible, and the past she thought was buried begins reaching for her. Soon, it is no longer simply a question of who her ancestors were. It is a question of who Alexandra herself is - and what she has inherited through their blood.
