An ancient book. A cache of letters. A family secret that should have stayed buried.
When a young woman uncovers clues linking her family’s past to the fifteenth-century reign of Vlad the Impaler, she’s drawn into a search for the truth that spans continents and centuries. Her journey takes her from remote monasteries and dusty archives to the capitals of Eastern Europe, where history and myth intertwine.
Every discovery brings her closer to an inconceivable evil—and to the possibility that Vlad’s reign never truly ended.
Part thriller, part history, and part romance, The Historian is a richly atmospheric masterpiece that reimagines the vampire legend with hypnotic prose and breathtaking suspense. Some stories change what you believe. This one may change what you fear.
