Shadows That Walk Through Time
Imagine discovering an ancient book in your father's library-its pages blank except for a woodcut dragon at its center and the word "DRAKULYA" emblazoned across weathered leather. This is precisely what happens to our unnamed sixteen-year-old narrator in 1972, setting in motion a quest that spans generations and continents. The discovery prompts her father to reveal his own harrowing search for his missing mentor, Professor Bartholomew Rossi, who vanished after receiving an identical book decades earlier. What unfolds is a mesmerizing journey suggesting that Vlad Tepes-the historical Dracula-is no mere legend but an undead creature who has shaped European history from the shadows for centuries. The brilliance of this tale lies in how it transforms vampire mythology through meticulous historical research. This isn't the cape-wearing, garlic-fearing caricature we've come to expect, but something far more terrifying: a Dracula who feels terrifyingly plausible, a scholar-warrior whose immortality allows him to manipulate history itself. As one character observes, "History never dies. It's always reaching forward from the shadows."
