About this audiobook

Amid plague-stricken Berlin in 2032, teenage siblings Hans and Ellen Andernbach uncover a dark family secret while locked down in their ancestral mansion. Outside, a mutated bubonic plague devastates the city; inside, a crack in the cellar wall leads them to a hidden diary written by Henrietta Haller, a 19th-century nurse. Her account reveals disturbing experiments with lamb blood transfusions and a legacy of forbidden medical practices and moral conflict. As the siblings piece together Henrietta’s story, they realize the past is tied to their own family history—culminating in the shocking discovery of an infant buried within their home. As the truth emerges, the boundary between past and present blurs, forcing Hans and Ellen to confront the dangerous consequences of humanity’s relentless struggle to survive. Lambs’ Blood explores medical ethics, family secrets, and the cost of playing God.
