Blood tells the truth. Families decide whether anyone is allowed to hear it.
In 1956, Corinne Pembroke is hidden in a shed twenty yards from her family's North Carolina home. Pregnant, unmarried, and dangerous to her father's political future, she is erased from public view before she can stain the Pembroke name.
Forty-three years later, hospital laboratory scientist June Dalton has learned to trust blood more than people. Then a dying patient's sample reacts to her in a way no test can explain. An impossible hunger awakens. Dark branching veins spread beneath her skin. After the patient dies, June discovers that his case may be connected to the sealed history of the Pembroke family and to her own.
The deeper she digs, the more the evidence converges: an adoption record that should not exist, a family trust built around an unnamed child, a ledger kept by a woman no one was meant to remember, and a shed that never stopped holding its secrets.
Someone spent decades deciding which women would be believed, which evidence would survive, and which lives could be written out of the record. Now June must discover what the blood remembers before the inheritance inside her becomes impossible to control.
Spider Veins is an atmospheric Southern Gothic suspense novel blending dual timelines, medical mystery, buried identity, and a family legacy that refuses to stay hidden.
