Bloodlines is a psychological noir novel about memory, inheritance, and the quiet aftermath of violence.When a child becomes the sole witness to something that should not exist, the event does not end-it embeds. Years later, the memory remains unresolved, shaping the way she sees the world, the people around her, and herself.As fragments of the past resurface, the story follows the long shadow cast by family, secrecy, and the things that survive childhood. What was hidden begins to reveal itself-not through spectacle, but through silence, implication, and the slow recognition of what was always waiting.Bloodlines is not a story about what happened.It is a story about what remains.A slow-burn psychological thriller, it explores trauma without exploitation and horror without excess-leaving the reader to confront the weight of inheritance and the cost of survival. This novel contains themes of trauma and psychological horror. There is no explicit gore.
