Aurelia (english edition) #971792

London, 1840.  
Albert Vantablack is a young deputy magistrate when he sentences Alice, a woman accused of witchcraft and libertinism, to death. Moments before dying, Alice offers him a promise: *We will meet again in hell, and it will be sooner than you think.*  
That same night, Aurelia is born, daughter of Albert and Florence Vantablack.  
Raised in Ashveil Castle among thousands of books and evenings by the fireplace, Aurelia is an extraordinary child, intelligent, frail, with amber-colored eyes that seem to hold a light of their own. Her bond with her father is total and visceral from childhood. Florence, on the other hand, watches in silence, pushed aside, suspecting without being able to name what she suspects.  
*Aurelia* is a gothic novella set in Victorian England. A story of desire, obsession, and ruin that does not ask permission to exist.  
Not suitable for those under 18.
