In this spine-chilling YA horror graphic novel, a rebellious Irish teen visits distant relatives, only to discover that she's to be sacrificed as part of a generational blood ritual. Now, she must confront her ancestors and break the violent cycle to save herself.

Nobody understands Nell.

Strongheaded, fiercely independent, and constantly furious, Nell just wants to be free to carve out her own path in life. And she doesn't care whether her mom or anyone else approves of her choices.

But what Nell doesn't know is that her destiny was etched in stone generations ago.

After getting suspended from school, Nell is forced to go live with an aunt and uncle whom she's never met before. Her sense of unease quickly evolves into terror when Nell discovers that she's been chosen as the latest victim in a perilous plot that spans centuries and has left countless bodies in its wake.
