The Blue Blood

By Irina Volkov

A TECTONIC GOTHIC NOVELLA
Where horror is not a monster, but a flaw in reality's code.

A mentor's last request. A patient who shouldn't exist. A bloodline that isn't human.

Summoned by his brilliant, reclusive mentor, Dr. Raymond Heine journeys to a desolate wilderness manor. He expects a groundbreaking medical collaboration. What he finds is a beautiful, imprisoned patient whose very existence is a structural anomaly.
Her blood is not red. It is a luminous, impossible blue.

Drawn into a maze of shifting shadows and whispered codes, Raymond realizes the mansion is not a home-it is a laboratory of biological heresy. The line between genius and madness dissolves, revealing a terrifying truth: Serena is not a patient. She is a component in an ancient, aristocratic recalibration.

To save her, he must betray the man he admired. To understand her, he must abandon science. And to survive the system, he may have to let his own humanity mutate.

A TECTONIC GOTHIC NOVELLA where the true horror is in the inheritance.
