The author’s current site distinguishes that release from the US edition, now listed for November 10, a useful correction for readers encountering older October US listings. The novel follows Beatrice, a vampire responsible for nursing
newly transformed fledglings through their early years. She raises two in an isolated nest beneath her patron’s skyscraper, but taking in a third breaks the precarious balance. Her hunger intensifies and her body begins changing beyond the role she understands. Beatrice turns to a mortal obstetrician-gynaecologist in
search of answers about her altered anatomy. That connection brings another danger: exposing the coven could threaten both her dependants and the secrecy governing their world. The premise joins vampire fiction with the physical demands of caregiving and the fear of losing control of one’s own body. Michael Joseph
handles the UK edition, while the US publication is with St. Martin’s Press. Readers should use the current territory-specific date when ordering. Official source. Image credit: Caitlin Starling / Michael Joseph / St. Martin’s Press; official cover.
