Description
From the 2013 Costa Book Award shortlisted author, Sarah Naughton's second novel, The Blood List, is now available to download.
The year is 1646, tales of witches, murder and changelings are rife and a dark era is about to begin… Barnaby Nightingale is the perfect son; strong, handsome, daring, everything his father wants him to be. Yet for his mother, Frances, he will never be the son she desires. Frances believes that her real son was taken from her as a baby by village folk who believed him to be a changeling, and Barnaby left in his place. Constantly disappointing his mother, Barnaby is spoiled by his father and despised by his younger brother, Abel.
But when the mysterious Naomi catches Barnaby's attention his world is thrown into chaos. Superstition and dark folklore take hold of the small village, and Naomi is accused of being a witch. Fear and suspicion spread and soon Barnaby finds himself on trial too and facing the ultimate penalty… death.
