Lute

"Would you accept a calm life full of health and happiness if you knew that every seven years people would die because of it? That’s the question at the core of Lute, and the story’s characters answer with a resounding yes. Every seven years, the inhabitants of a remote English island pay a tribute of seven lives in exchange for seven more years of health and safety. A creepy, atmospheric tale of familial drama, bizarre history and supernatural events, this entertaining story explores the nature of sacrifices and the way we sometimes become prisoners of our decisions."
