The shapeshifter

The Shapeshifter A Gothic Horror

Novel by Aria Dark


She was burned at the stake, an innocent woman. Now she demands revenge. Ashford, a town steeped in Victorian secrets and dark family legends. When historian Eleanor Blackwood stumbles upon the gruesome witch trials of 1873, she has no idea that her own ancestors condemned an innocent woman to death-to cover up their own crimes. But Mirabel de Vere has returned. A shapeshifter with the ability to inhabit any body and assume any form, she seeks revenge on the descendants of the five men who left her to die in the flames 150 years earlier. One by one, they succumb to madness, age in seconds, or gouge out their own eyes-hunted by a power that fears neither time nor death. Eleanor must confront the terrible truth: Her family bears blood guilt. But can atonement be made for crimes committed generations ago? And is there redemption for a being who has spent 150 years in torment? An atmospheric horror thriller about guilt, retribution, and the question: How far does responsibility extend for the sins of our ancestors? Perfect for fans of Gothic horror, supernatural thrillers, and dark Victorian atmospheres.

Trigger warning: Violence, psychological horror, descriptions of torture and burning
