Dracula

In 1431, in the heart of the Carpathian Mountains, a boy was born—one destined to enter history under the name Dracula. The prince of Wallachia, later dubbed by descendants “Ţepeş”—“the Impaler”—was a merciless and fearless warrior, defending his country with an iron hand and punishing his subjects cruelly for even the slightest violation.

But was he truly a vampire, as the legends claim? Only those who were near the young Vlad knew the truth—when he lived as a hostage at the court of the Ottoman sultan: his friend, Prince Mehmed; his beloved, Tangul; and the Franciscan monk, Friar Bernardo, sent by the Pope himself to save the world from an ancient evil that had awakened.
