Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Captive Princess Countess von Dornberg sighed wearily as she turned her eyes away from the gray waste of waters spread out before her. A treacherous leaden mist was now steal ing over from the Esthonian shore, and as yet no gleam of silver sail had rewarded her hour's vigil. The clang of her silver bell then echoed loudly in the great, lonely drawing-room. The Lady of the Isles gazed inquiringly at old Elia, her butler, whose wrinkled face was as yellow as the buff facings of his faded blue livery. You have seen nothing? The mail boat should be even now nearing the island. Nothing as yet, Barina, piped the aged serving man. It is the old thing - the currents, the winds, even the witches and nixies, fight against us here! The young ladies? Calmly continued Marie von Dornberg, ignoring the old Russian's superstitious bab ble, for, like the brook, Elia went on forever.

Book excerpt: “A lush and bloody historical thriller” based on the infamous real-life inspiration for Countess Dracula, a Hungarian noblewoman turned serial killer.(Kirkus Reviews) In sixteenth-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, confident and lover. It’s not long before Anna falls completely under the Countess’s spell—and the Countess t”akes 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. “Popovic balances lush, romantic language with gruesome imagery in this tale of innocence lost. Readers will likely be inspired to do actual research into Lady Bathory’s murderous misdeeds.” —Booklist “Popovic also touches on how a patriarchal society can drive women to extremes without letting the truly terrifying Bathory, or Anna, off the hook for their own actions.” —Kirkus Reviews “Hand to fans of dark historical fiction and powerful female characters.” —School Library Journal
