In 1639, behind the walls of a secluded manor, twenty-one pregnant women live under the watch of a vampire duke and the best physicians the age can provide. Blackthorn House promises safety, comfort and healthy children. It also hides an experiment. The Dominion wants something nature has never produced: children born from human mothers who carry the strengths of the ancient bloodlines without sharing their greatest weakness. Eleven of the children will prove human. The rest are chimeras—awake when the ancient ones must sleep. For the women of Blackthorn, every birth brings hope, fear, grief and another glimpse of what their hosts truly intend. As one pregnancy follows another toward its conclusion, the experiment moves closer to the child who will change everything. A boy who will die for seven minutes. A boy named Jack. The Wrought World A dark, biological reimagining of the vampire myth, where immortality becomes the longest war between predator and prey, and the final battleground is free will itself.
