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

In 1573, Countess Erzsébet Bthory gives birth to an illegitimate child. The infant girl is secretly taken to a peasant family in the Carpathian Mountains and raised as their own. Years later, the young woman, Borka, unaware of her true origins, is sent to serve in the Countess’s household.

Terrified by the Countess’s murderous reputation and the cruel women who run the castle, Borka struggles to find her place. When plague breaches the castle’s walls, a tentative bond forms between the girl and the Countess, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness. But powerful forces are at play—forces that see the Countess’s wealth and independence as a threat to the king.

As the show trial against the infamous “Blood Countess” unfolds, Borka must navigate treacherous waters. Can the Countess trust those closest to her? And where will Borka’s loyalties lie in the face of mounting danger?

The Blood Countess is a gripping exploration of power, betrayal, and the search for truth, blending historical intrigue with a powerful feminist lens.
