About this book
Propelled by the discovery of an ancient book and a cache of yellowing letters, a young woman plugues into a labyrinth where the secrets of her family' spast connect to an inconceivable evil - the dark reign of Vlad the Impaler and a time-defying pact that may have kept his awful work alive through the ages.
Who this is for
AI · Sample
Quiet, observational, and lightly philosophical — the prose is the point. Best for readers who already enjoy literary fiction and aren't reading for plot. Frustrates anyone expecting clear stakes.
