Vlad Dracula, bloodthirsty tyrant; Nicolae of Cozia, avenging son of a murdered noble; Maria, grieving, widowed tavern maid: on a snowy, blood-soaked hill, the three will meet. One will die; one will be the killer; one will be reborn. History tells us that the real Vlad Dracula was much more frightening than Bram Stoker's vampire. After killing over 100,000 people during his first reign as Prince of Walachia, he returned after years of exile ready to wreak terror on anyone he chose. Many were afraid, but only two were bold enough to risk death at every turn to see his rule stopped short. Maria and Nicolae find more in common than a hatred of Vlad, but will they both live long enough to declare their love? With heart-stopping danger at every turn, detailed historical accuracy combined with fictional characters, and a myriad of surprises, Vlad is sure to keep you on the edge of your chair!
