Not yet thirty, Bathory, or 'Bat' to those near to her, has assembled a peculiar CV: Model, sex worker, linguist and scholar of Latin. But nothing in her lively job history employs the singular traits she inherited from her strange family., chief among them an uncanny ability to sidestep seemingly certain death(s).

An appropriate atavistic instinct, for someone from a long line of assassins and spies. Her clan are assassins of a romantic bent, her parents issuing theories on love galore. However Bat is set on swerving any enduring romantic loves, and she's set on dying young. Now, if she could only avoid that one alluring figure from her father's past.

A thriller, a love story, and a dynamic examination of class, violence and connection. The images we make to share and those we strive to conceal, alienation and salvation, magic and technology, LacCava' s bold new novel is propelled by the compelling violence one can seed in contradiction.
