Midwinterblood Award-winning by Marcus Sedgwick (author) (UK edition)

“I will live seven times, and I will look for you and love you in each life. Will you follow?”

Have you ever had the feeling that you’ve lived through another life? Been somewhere new that has felt totally familiar? Understood a total stranger as if you had always known them?

In 2073, on the remote and secretive island of Blessed, a man and a woman are ritually slain. Their deaths echo a moment ten centuries before, when, in the dark of the moon, a king was murdered and tragically torn from his queen. Across the centuries, their souls seek to be reunited. In the forms of mother and son, artist and child, forbidden lovers and even victims of a vampire, they seek to regain what they’ve lost. But only the ultimate sacrifice will rekindle their true love… Told in seven parts, each influenced by a moon – the flower moon, the harvest moon, the hunter’s moon, the blood moon – this is the story of Eric and Merle, whose souls have sought each other since their untimely parting. Beautifully imagined and intricately wrought, it is a heart-wrenching love story with the author’s hallmark touches of gothic intrigue, bloodshed and sacrifice.

“The outstanding title of Orion’s new teen/cross-over Indigo imprint: a devastating love story across the ages with Sedgwick’s gothic touches and brooding atmosphere.” Bookseller

“Contains much that is riveting, strange and darkly enchanting. I read it in a single feverish sitting… and drifted to sleep haunted by its vision of love and fate and history.” Guardian
