Little Kin

A haunting island. A broken covenant. A woman who must survive both.

When Cass inherits a crumbling house on Rothagisht—a remote island near the Arctic Circle—she’s desperate for a new start. The land is stunning, the people strangely aglow with health, and for the first time Cass feels like she might finally belong.

But Rothagisht comes with rules: never go out after dark, never open the door to a knock, and always keep the bell close. As Cass is drawn into the island’s mysteries—and into the secrets of her own bloodline—she discovers Rothagisht is stalked by impossible beings: the Movoi, known as the little kin, and the Garathin, creatures of fire and stone.

With the Festival of Giving and Receiving looming, and the island’s ancient covenant unraveling in blood, Cass must choose: embrace the community she’s longed for, or confront the nightmare that could consume them all.

Perfect for fans of Heather Fawcett, T. Kingfisher, and Ari Aster’s Midsommar, Little Kin is a chilling, folkloric tale of survival and belonging.
