A LEGACY OF BLOOD AND BONES
A LEGACY OF BLOOD AND BONE by Millie Abecassis
Brick & Bloom/Row House Publishing / October 2025
Tagline for A LEGACY OF BLOOD AND BONE: For fans of Shannon Fay’s Innate Magic and Alix E. Harrow’s Starling House comes A LEGACY OF BLOOD AND BONE—a spellbinding debut set in an alternate Belle Époque France, brimming with intrigue, dangerous magic, and a swooning, slow-burn sapphic romance.
About A LEGACY OF BLOOD AND BONES: “Blood is life. Bones are strength. Flesh is control. Skin is death.”
Every blessed family knows this mantra, and Aubeline—gifted with blood magic and heiress to the powerful Sterraux line—is no exception.
When her father dies unexpectedly, Aubeline inherits the title of Countess. But her brother Renan soon challenges her claim, demanding the title of Count for himself—and quietly coveting guardianship of their young niece, Damarisse.
As sinister forces gather around Renan and his allies wield forbidden, deadly power, Aubeline must seek out unlikely companions to protect Damarisse, expose her brother’s true intentions, and stop a catastrophe that could unravel their world.
She never expected her greatest ally to be Damarisse’s new private teacher, Vinnie—a clairvoyant woman cursed with uncontrollable visions. Nor did she expect to fall in love with her, defying every rule of polite society and risking everything for a chance at love in a world built on blood and secrets.

Praise for A LEGACY OF BLOOD AND BONE:
“A gothic gem, rich with dread, desire, and a magic system as haunting as it is original.” – April Yates, author of Ashthorne
“I absolutely devoured this book. It felt fresh and unique, giving me exactly what I was looking for to kick off fall. Every aspect of this book kept me hooked, from the plot to the characters.” – Grimoire Ink Reviews
“This book was so good!! Historical fantasy, magic, and a sapphic romance? Yes, please!!!
Vinnie was an absolute cutie, and Aubeline was a baddass (which checks out because so is Damarisse!). I loved the characters in this novel and this air of mystery around everything going on! I was obsessed!!!” – @casimiread on IG
“A Legacy of Blood and Bone was a delightful experience for me! The worldbuilding here is very well-done: thorough without feeling heavy-handed, and the character interactions feel genuine and human. The plot itself was engrossing, and the author made use of some techniques that I personally find very entertaining.” – @elithebookeater on IG
