Bloodbird

Naomi Sutton's ordinary life in the coastal town of Gordon's Bay is shattered by a sudden break-up. Unaware that her words have the power to curse, she writes a haiku in a moment of overwhelming grief. As her body begins to fail, the apparition of the Pied Crow from her youth returns to haunt her, forcing its way into her reality.

When Naomi meets Ava Louw, a troubled wild child at a support group for the terminally ill, an unlikely friendship forms. Just as their luck starts to turn, Naomi discovers that Ava is hiding a dangerous secret.

The Bloodbird is watching, fatedly committed to avenge its charge.
