Europe, 1766: After claiming victory in Scotland, werewolf Joseph Cornishe and his newfound family face an even greater challenge. The vampire hierarchy stretches far beyond British shores, and dark forces gather in Venice, where an ancient evil plots revenge. As Joseph and his allies pursue their enemies across Europe, they discover the vampires seek a legendary tome of unfathomable power — the Book of Thoth. With his sons divided by their own quests, Joseph must navigate treachery at every turn. In the waterways and palazzos of Venice, an unholy alliance between vampires and the church threatens to unlock powers that could reshape the world. When Joseph and his loved ones are captured and imprisoned, their only hope lies with the Obeah witch Rose and her growing mastery of forbidden magic.
T. M. Tucker: “Working with Bryony Sutherland across the five books of The Cornishe Chronicles has been an absolute privilege. She is far more than an editor — she’s been a mentor who has helped me develop and grow as an author with each volume. Her meticulous attention to detail and deep understanding of narrative structure were invaluable, especially in weaving together the intricate threads and callbacks that span this complex historically-set series. Bryony has an exceptional ability to enhance a story while preserving the author’s unique voice. Her thoughtful guidance and expert insights have elevated every aspect of my writing. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in bringing the world of the Cornishe family to life, and I’m profoundly grateful for her dedication, wisdom and support throughout this journey.”
