Before the Eye was inherited, it was endured.
Birth of the Eye is a historical Gothic memoir set within The Bavent Bloodline Chronicles, told in the imagined voice of Madeleine Bavent, a real seventeenth century French woman whose testimony survives in court records from the infamous Louviers witchcraft and possession trials.
Taken from her family after the violent loss of her parents, Madeleine grows up in the margins of charity and neglect. At eighteen, she enters the strict confines of the Catholic Church, where obedience is prized and silence is demanded. Within the convent walls she becomes the target of cruelty and manipulation, her body and spirit subjected to the ambitions of men sworn to guide her. When accusation replaces truth, she is made a scapegoat for forces she does not yet understand.
Imprisoned, condemned, and ultimately cast beyond the safety she once sought, Madeleine endures public scandal and private suffering before crossing the Atlantic toward an uncertain future. Through it all, the Eye binds itself to her, not as a curse, but as a vessel of memory carried in blood and marked by sacrifice.
Written as a memoir preserved for her descendants, Birth of the Eye reveals the making of a lineage and the cost of survival that would echo for generations.
Birth of the Eye is a Gothic novel steeped in French history, feminine strength, endurance and psychological tension, where the Eye is created and the blood runs true.
