BEFORE V
A Gothic Novel by A. M. Flowers
Some things are inherited through blood. Others wait patiently to be remembered.
When Lucia Maria DeMarco returns to the iron country of northern Minnesota, she expects to find the familiar: the quiet streets of her childhood, the enduring presence of family, and the particular loneliness of a place that never quite releases those who leave it.
Instead, she begins to notice the things that have always existed just beyond her understanding.
An old family estate. Histories preserved in silence. A landscape shaped by iron, water, and generations of lives whose stories have never been fully told.
Then she meets Arthur Velaire, a British writer whose presence introduces an unexpected intimacy into her carefully ordered world. Their connection unfolds against the stark beauty of the Iron Range, where ordinary moments carry an unusual weight and the past seems less distant than it should.
As Lucy begins to question what she knows of her family, her memories, and herself, she discovers that the boundary between what is remembered and what is real may be far more fragile than anyone has imagined.
And some truths do not disappear simply because the world has forgotten them.
Atmospheric, psychologically intricate, and steeped in Gothic mystery, Before V explores inheritance, identity, love, and the unsettling possibility that human history is not quite what we have been taught to believe.
Before there was an answer, there was V.
