It&#8217;s been great working on revisions for this book, including additional scenes. The Darkness Therein was my first published novel, and the entire Ancient Blood series has been a huge part of my life ever since.

She\u2019d clearly seen every shape, sunset, building, and person. Though not a historian of any kind, she painted costumes and places as accurately as if she\u2019d been there. In her mind she <em>had<\/em> been there, observing in a trance-like state and recording all she saw with her pencil and brush.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And a bit more, if you&#8217;d like to continue:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jocelyn continued, \u201cIt\u2019s just that these are so real. I\u2019ve been to each of these places and seen these people. I lived in that house. The coven met in that clearing amidst those trees. Looking at this painting, I can almost smell the ritual fire again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the fireplace downstairs.\u201d She refused to admit that she was any more connected to this man than she already felt.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9529 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/TheDarknessTherein_432-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/TheDarknessTherein_432-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/TheDarknessTherein_432-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/TheDarknessTherein_432.jpg 432w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>The Darkness Therein<\/b><\/p>\n<p>by Kate Hill<\/p>\n<p>Coming November 28, 2022<\/p>\n<p>Jocelyn has chased his nemesis for centuries.
