Hearthorne
Hearthorne
When Beatrix Chalmers accepts a nursing position at the isolated Hearthorne Manor in 1870, she believes she's found professional opportunity and escape from her reduced circumstances. Instead, she discovers she's been marked since childhood for transformation into something neither human nor wholly alien—the latest in a thirty-year pattern of women who arrive at Hearthorne and disappear into the depths of the nearby fens on the winter solstice. Told entirely through letters, journals, medical notes, and testimonies, HEARTHORNE follows Beatrix's eight-week descent into transformation as she uncovers the truth about Lady Soames, the ageless mistress of the manor, and the ancient entity that dwells in the deep waters. But Beatrix is a woman of science and formidable will—and she may be the first victim conscious enough, and angry enough, to fight back from within her transformation.
