Catriona Ward Synopses: Rawblood, also published as The Girl from Rawblood, is a standalone novel by Catriona Ward that follows Iris Villarca, the last surviving member of a family marked by a deadly inheritance. For generations, the Villarcas have been haunted by a presence they call “her,” a curse that brings heartbreak and early, mysterious deaths to anyone who dares to love.

Raised in isolation and warned never to form attachments, Iris has been taught that passion is dangerous. Yet she falls in love, and the consequences are swift and terrifying. As the world around her begins to fall apart, Iris is forced to confront the truth behind her family’s history and the force that has shadowed them for centuries.

Her journey leads her back to Rawblood, the remote estate where the curse began and where she must finally face what has been waiting for her. Rawblood is a haunting, lyrical novel about love, legacy, and the price of defying fate.

Little Eve is a standalone novel by Catriona Ward set on the remote, wind‑battered isle of Altnaharra off the wildest coast of Scotland. There, an isolated clan prepares for what they believe will be the end of the world and its rebirth. They await the coming of the Adder, a powerful force that will choose one of them as its vessel. Every member of the group longs for the honour, but young Eve is willing to go further than anyone to claim it.

Their rigid world begins to fracture when Chief Inspector Black arrives to investigate a brutal murder. His presence disrupts the clan’s rituals, and their sacred ceremony goes terribly wrong. As the investigation deepens, the secrets that have shaped life on Altnaharra begin to surface, revealing the truth behind the clan’s beliefs and the darkness that binds them together.

The Last House on Needless Street is a standalone novel by Catriona Ward set in a boarded‑up home at the end of a dead‑end road beside the dense Washington woods. Inside live three inhabitants whose lives are tightly bound together: a teenage girl who is never allowed outside after something went terribly wrong, a man who drinks in front of his television while trying to ignore the gaps in his memory, and a house cat who spends her days napping and reading the Bible.

An unspeakable secret holds this strange household together. When a new neighbour moves in next door, the fragile balance begins to shift, and the past buried among the birch trees threatens to break through. As the story unfolds, the truth behind the house, its occupants, and the woods beyond becomes increasingly unsettling.
