BRONZE PRIZEWINNER AT THE INDEPENDENT PUBLISHER BOOK AWARDS 2017 FOR BEST EUROPE FICTION
"With a multifaceted narrative, diverse characters, and stunning historical detail, this book is completely absorbing. The author stirs together history, myth, political intrigue, and religious conflict to create a gripping, expertly researched story. Was it a curse, a medical condition, or the simple fears of local farmers that led to the legend of Count Dracula? See what you think after reading. Highly recommended." THE HISTORICAL NOVEL SOCIETY
1442: When Vlad Dracula arrives at the court of the Ottoman Sultan Murad II, his life is turned upside down. His father Dracul cannot protect him; he must battle his demons alone. And when the Sultan calls for the services of a soothsayer, even the shrewd teller of fortunes is unprepared for what he learns.
Meanwhile, the Ottoman Turks are advancing through the Balkans with Vienna in their sights and Constantinople, the Orthodox Greek capital, within their grasp. As Eastern Europe struggles against the tide of a Muslim advance it cannot counter, Western Christendom needs only one prize to overthrow its enemies.
"Very well researched and gripping…a far more ambitious novel than GIOCONDA, covering a vast sweep of time and place...a huge leap forward in scope and accomplishment. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and stayed up night after night to read it."MARY HOFFMAN, Author of the Stravaganza series and The Ravenmaster's Boy
"Brings to life the character of Vlad Dracula and gives historical context to the powerful Dracula myths." HISTORY IS NOW MAGAZINE
"Historical fiction, but with an element of the supernatural running through it in the form of myth and legend." UNUSUAL HISTORICALS
An original, fictional exploration of the myth of the vampire by an award-winning author, and a compelling tale of fortune and intrigue at the palace of the Ottomans
