Mergulhe nas sombras da eternidade e explore as complexidades do amor e do desejo. Constanta, uma camponesa medieval, é resgatada da beira da morte e transformada em uma noiva imortal digna de um rei vampiro. Juntos, ela e seu salvador estabelecem um lar em um castelo remoto e, ao longo dos séculos, acrescentam novos membros ao clã poliamoroso, como Magdalena e Alexi. No entanto, esse casamento eterno vem com um preço alto: sangue, submissão e segredos inconfessáveis. Pacto de Sangue é mais do que uma simples releitura de Drácula; é uma jornada epistolar que nos guia por uma viagem profunda ao mundo gótico e misterioso do clássico de Bram Stoker, mas sob a perspectiva de Constanta, uma de suas noivas vampiras, presa em um relacionamento abusivo por anos e anos a fio — até que decide pôr um ponto final, antes que seja tarde demais. Constanta nos guia por sua jornada desde o momento em que é transformada até os séculos seguintes. A princípio encantada com seu salvador, ela aos poucos vai enxergando que, na verdade, ele é um homem manipulador, controlador e abusivo. E o relacionamento, que começou como uma história de resgate, acaba por se tornar uma prisão emocional. Evocando o lirismo da saga Crepúsculo, de Stephenie Meyer, e a trama envolvente dos romances vampirescos de Anne Rice, Pacto de Sangue é uma história sobre relacionamentos abusivos e sobre como as dinâmicas de poder, manipulação e gaslighting às vezes são muito difíceis de enxergar. Com sua prosa envolvente, S. T. Gibson nos faz questionar nossas próprias relações, rever o significado de consentimento e identificar nossa capacidade de reconhecer e romper os grilhões de relacionamentos tóxicos. A Caveira, sempre meticulosa, planejou cada detalhe para garantir que a edição brasileira fosse uma experiência verdadeiramente luxuosa e especial. A edição inclui um presente aos leitores: o conto “Novamente, Rosas”, uma oportunidade única de explorar as profundezas da narrativa. Sombrio, queer e instigante, Pacto de Sangue prova que o encontro da imortalidade da literatura clássica com a vitalidade da inspiração contemporânea é capaz de conceber tramas originais e apaixonantes. Deixe-se envolver pela sedução da eternidade e faça um pacto com uma história que permanecerá com você por muito tempo depois de ler a última palavra. S. T. Gibson é escritora, agente literária e uma mulher sábia em formação. É formada em Escrita Criativa pela Universidade da Carolina do Norte e em Estudos Teológicos pelo Seminário Teológico de Princeton. Atualmente mora em Boston com o companheiro, um gato persa mimado e uma coleção de blazers vintage. "Atmosférico e exuberante... Este livro vai assombrar você da melhor maneira possível." — Genevieve Gornichec, autora de No Coração da Bruxa — "Um pesadelo vertiginoso que vai deixá-lo angustiado, furioso e, por fim, esperançoso." — Hannah Whitten, autora de Para o Lobo — "Um gótico emocionante e sedutor repleto de tensão arrepiante e com um romance sombrio. Pacto de Sangue me deixou sem fôlego." — Alexis Henderson, autora de O Ano das Bruxas —
