Bloodstone (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798262501960)

When struggling sculptor Malaya Marble inherits her uncle's abandoned studio, she believes she has found one last chance to matter. Instead, she finds something living inside the walls.

The Stonekin are ancient beings of stone and hunger who can transform her work into masterpieces. But their gift comes with a price: blood, flesh, and the slow surrender of everything that makes her human.

As Malaya's sculptures grow more beautiful, her body begins to harden into something colder, stranger, and more perfect. Critics, curators, and collectors are drawn to her work with a devotion that feels disturbingly close to worship. What begins as artistic salvation becomes a collaboration with something that does not create art so much as consume the artist.

As her name rises, Malaya must decide whether greatness is worth the self it destroys-or whether she has already become part of the work.

BLOODSTONE is a gothic horror novel about ambition, beauty, sacrifice, and the monstrous hunger to be seen.

For readers of Mexican Gothic, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Bunny, and House of Leaves.
