Donna Lynch has returned with the prequel to her acclaimed debut novel Isabel Burning. This is the tragic and haunting love story of damaged Russian scientist Vladimir Millerovo, a Grace ancestor, and his gifted, beautiful Romanian bride Veda.The couple are forced to flee late 1800’s Moscow, along with their baby daughter Ana, across several continents and an ocean to escape Vladimir’s crimes and the ghosts that seek their revenge. Finding sanctuary in the Caribbean paradise of Martinique, the family tries to repair what has been broken only to find that the horror they sought to leave behind has been irrevocably burned into each of their hearts, and ignited a terrible gift in young Ana.

What They’re Saying About Donna Lynch

“Written with elegance and strong atmosphere, this is a solid Gothic horror story. Readers unfamiliar with Isabel Burning probably won’t pick up on the author’s use of foreshadowing, but that’s OK: the book works well as a stand-alone and is sure to drive new readers back to the first book.”—Booklist

“Lynch creates some compelling characters in this tortured family saga. Much of the action of the book takes place inside Vladimir Millerovo’s journal as he meets and falls in love with Anastascia’s mother. But it’s not a simple love story and there is as much hate as there is love between the characters.”—A Geography of Reading

“Isabel Burning was incredibly difficult to put down. The only times I did manage to stop reading was to shower and sleep. As I read this, I found it very difficult to believe that this was Donna Lynch’s first novel…What makes it so incredible is that everything that happened seems so… real. As if what you are reading actually took place and Isabel wrote them down as it happened to maintain the descriptive elements.”
—Zombie Mall

Isabel Burning is more than just scary. It’s morbid and grotesque. It’s deeply disturbing and intensely mortifying. And you’ll love every minute of it.”—ReGen Magazine

“Isabel Burning has the kind of imagery that never gets out of your head. Years later, this book will still haunt you.”
—Magpie Killjoy, Steampunk Magazine

“With ghosts, dark family secrets, growing paranoia at every turn and realistic characters to die for, ISABEL BURNING is one of the best debut novels I’ve read in quite some time.”
