When rare-manuscript expert Joseph Barkeley is chosen to authenticate and buy the initial draft and records for Bram Stoker's Dracula, little does he know that the reclusive buyer is an associate of the oldest family in Transylvania. After delivering the manuscript to the legendary Bran Castle in Romania, Barkeley - a Romanian orphan himself - realizes to his horror that he's become a prisoner to the kid of Vlad Dracul. To earn his independence, Barkeley must decipher cryptic announcements hidden in the written text of the initial Dracula that reveal the burial sites of certain Dracul family members. Barkeley's only anticipation is to ensure that he does not exhaust his effectiveness to his captor until he's able to evade. Soon he discovers secrets about his own lineage that suggest his selection for the task was more than coincidence. In this knowledge may lie Barkeley's salvation - or his doom. For now he must select from a coward's flight and a mortal turmoil against a historical foe. Building on real international events bordering the publication of Bram Stoker's original novel, Royce Prouty has written a spellbinding debut novel that ranges from 1890s Chicago, London, and Transylvania to the perilous present.
