About this item
In the vein of riveting historical novels such as Hamnet and Circe—with a touch of Dracula—this propulsive, feminist reimagining explores the story of Erzsébet Bthory, the infamous sixteenth-century Hungarian aristocrat known as the “Blood Countess,” who was rumored to have murdered hundreds of peasant girls and bathed in their blood.

In 1573, Countess Erzsébet Bthory gives birth to an illegitimate child. To protect the infant from scandal, the child is secretly taken to a peasant family in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains and raised as their own. Years later, Borka, a young woman unaware of her true heritage, is sent to join the Countess’s household.

Fearful of the Countess’s murderous reputation and the brutally cruel women running the castle, Borka struggles to find her place. Her terror only deepens when plague breaches the castle’s walls. However, a tentative bond unexpectedly forms between Borka and the Countess amidst the chaos. As powerful forces gather against the Countess, whose wealth and independence threaten the king, Borka is caught between conflicting loyalties.

When the show trial against the notorious “Blood Countess” begins, Borka must confront her own identity and decide where her true allegiances lie. This gripping tale of intrigue and betrayal weaves together historical drama and feminist perspective, offering a fresh look at a legend shrouded in mystery and scandal.
