The case histories are contributed by leading international practitioners in the field and concern objects and collections in the care of English Heritage, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and other internationally renowned institutions.

Book excerpt: A war between the vampires and faeries has been taking place for decades. Slaitor Velynis, the Duke of Rolume, led his armies into battle for the sake of his people. Known as a military genius, Duke Velynis and his wife, the Grand Duchess Clara Velynis, rule over Rolume with an iron fist, keeping the peasants within their tight grasp while managing their desired war. All seemed to be flowing smoothly, and it was into this world that the young Duchess Litiva Velynis was born. Twenty-two years later, the war is still being waged with no sign of ending. The Duchess, while abhorring her mother’s behavior and attitudes towards the administration, admires her father’s dedication to the conflict and his superior knowledge of government. Given the best education available by the curious Doktor Rosen and developing a large understanding of her father’s political system, Litiva is seen in the eyes of her fellow noblemen and –women as a child prodigy. The Duke, her father, recognizes his daughter’s intellect and goes against his wife’s wishes, believing Litiva to be ready for the renowned Generals’ meetings, a gathering of the local politicians to discuss and debate current events. Litiva eagerly agrees and prepares herself for the future of her political career. What was supposed to be a political meeting turns out to be a political battle, and Litiva observes how corrupted her father’s administration truly is. Realizing that she, too, has a role to play in government as the Duchess of Rolume, Litiva wishes to work with her father to help solve the issues hindering the town. Yet after an attack from her father and the release of a diabolical scheme on the peasants living in the district, Litiva breaks away from her family in order to fix her father’s errors. With opposing politicians within the administration, Litiva must fight for her political future on her own, recruiting the help of the most unexpected supporters and working in secrecy for fear of being captured by her own parents.
