âThe kick of this ridiculously entertaining book is the haze of delirium it creates in the readerâs brainâ¦. Jaffâs woozy supernatural saga is effectively scary and great fun to read.â â New York Times Book Review
In Sophie Jaffâs spellbinding sequel to Love is Red, two women living centuries apart are bound together by an ancient prophecy, which ignites a dark story of obsession, betrayal, and revenge
Rumors of witchcraft have haunted Margaret ever since she was born. A strange child, she was feared and shunned by her medieval English village after her motherâs brutal murder. When her father remarries, Margaretânow a young womanârealizes that she must leave the village for good.
Hundreds of years later, as fall comes to Manhattan, Katherine Emerson prays her horrific summer is over. She survived a killerâs attack, but her roommate Andrea was not so lucky and now Katherine is raising Andreaâs son, Lucas. However, the rest of her world is in ruins: the man she loves has left her and sheâs pregnant with his child. She accepts sheâll be a single motherâuntil he insists on doing âthe right thingâ, which means taking her and Lucas with him to London for his new job. Katherine hopes that maybe she too can start over.
But starting over doesnât mean that the disturbing and dangerous encounters with strangers will end. As Katherine begins to fall apart, Margaretâs fight to survive in a hostile world reveals she has inherited her motherâs extraordinary giftsâbut will she use them for good or evil? Can Margaret change the destiny of Katherine and her unborn child? And what will happen if she succeeds?
