Little Kin is the debut adult novel from critically-acclaimed author Katya de Becerra.

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 are strangely healthy, and for the first time, Cass feels like she might finally belong.

But Rothagisht comes with rules: Never go out after dark, and never open the door to a knock. As Cass is drawn into the island’s mysteries—and into the secrets of her own bloodline—she discovers Rothagisht is stalked by ancient creatures that rise from the heated depths when the old covenant stirs.

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