Description
Austria, 1755. Empress Maria Theresa seeks to make life of her subjects calmer and safer, and the ideas of Science and Justice available even to the farthest outskirts. But the Habsburg domains are vast: in some places rebellions smolder, in others ancient legends awaken—and even the night itself brings horror.
When rumors from remote provinces reach the court—mysterious deaths that people attribute to vampires—the empress tasks Doctor Gerard van Swieten with the investigation. He is the court physician, an outstanding scholar, and a convinced opponent of mysticism. He has no doubt that superstition and someone’s political calculations are behind everything. However, the deeper van Swieten delves into the mystery hidden in the Moravian mountains, the more his confidence in a purely rational explanation begins to crack. In a tiny town, blood even seeps into the chapel, and people sometimes can’t decide what’s more frightening—to live or to die.
