Brood Of The Witch Queen

Brood of the Witch Queen

by Sax Rohmer

Brood of the Witch Queen follows the investigations of Dr. Bruce Cairn and his son Robert as they delve into a series of seemingly supernatural deaths in London. The story begins with the unexplained demise of a swan, followed by a young woman dying alone in a hospital, and culminates in the shocking strangulation of Sir Michael Ferrara. As the Cairns unravel the mysteries surrounding these deaths, they uncover a web of secrets and hidden identities, leading them to suspect a powerful, ancient, and potentially sinister force at play. The tale explores themes of identity, lineage, and the lingering influence of the past, questioning the true nature of Sir Michael's adopted son Antony and the origins of a mysterious, shadowy 'brood' linked to the Witch Queen.
