Synopsis
Set one year after the death of Dracula, hope is returning to the lands of Transylania, and a young peasant girl named Aurelia dares to dream of a better future, free from the yoke of the devil's hundred years of darkness. But when a mysterious Healer drifts into town, seeking to cure land and people alike, a terrifying new evil stirs in the blasted lands, and it seems that the lord of the undead is not through yet...or could it be an even greater evil? A titanic and darkly fantastical reimagining/sequel of Bram Stoker's sanguine classic.Add to Goodreads Shelf
Review
The cover was the first thing that attracted me to this story. And I'm glad that I got to read it because it's a great story with beautiful art. I'm not a fan of Dracula; never read it. And still, I enjoyed this story. Loved the twist at the end. My only complaint is that it ended abruptly. I felt as if there should be more to this tale, and there might be. I'd definitely keep a lookout for a volume II.
P.S. I received a complimentary copy of this book via NetGalley. The review represents my personal, honest opinions.
