Infos

Two women separated by five hundred years, each with a secret - the infamous 'Blood Countess'(1560-1614), notorious for bathing in the blood of six-hundred-and-fifty women in Renaissance Hungary and Transylvania; and the woman driven to re-write her story in the present - an academic who lives in and out of time because of a near death experience and who escapes ruin at the hands of rival scholars desperate to see her and her world destroyed at any cost. But Bathory s story will be told! Not as a murderer or a dark witch, as history would have us believe today, but as a woman who became a subversive printer and smuggler of banned books, rocked the religious foundations of the Austro-Hungarian Empire with only a band of faithful refugee women to help her, and who s revolutionary ideas would challenge even the Emperor himself! Bathory s modern day chronicler becomes the cipher of this secret history, uncovering the real life of the Blood Countess. What she doesn t know is that the Blood Countess is rewriting her across time Based on 100s of hours of original historical research, this novel is a transformational account of not only of the infamous story of the so-called Blood Countess, but a searing exploration of what history is and what history does to women.
