A historical YA horror novel based on the infamous real-life inspiration for Countess Dracula
In
17th century Hungary, Anna Darvulia has just begun working as a
scullery maid for the young and glamorous Countess Elizabeth Báthory.
When Elizabeth takes a liking to Anna, she’s vaulted to the dream role
of chambermaid, a far cry from the filthy servants’ quarters below. She
receives wages generous enough to provide for her family, and the
Countess begins to groom Anna as her friend and confidante. It’s not
long before Anna falls completely under the Countess’s spell—and the
Countess takes full advantage. Isolated from her former friends, family,
and fiancé, Anna realizes she’s not a friend but a prisoner of the
increasingly cruel Elizabeth. Then come the murders, and Anna knows it’s
only a matter of time before the Blood Countess turns on her, too.
