A Touch of Velvet. A Touch of Blood. - For a half century, a beautiful woman has been a prisoner to one man's cruelty. She is Zsuzsanna, the once-exquisite niece of Vlad Tsepesh - also known as Dracula - robbed of her beauty and her youth by Dracula himself. Now, through a ceremony of blood and passion, Zsuzsanna is about to be set free - under a woman's caress. Zsuzsanna's rebirth comes from the touch of the Vampire Elisabeth of Bathory, the beautiful, sensuous countess determined to destroy Vlad forever. But when Zsuzsanna travels to England with Elisabeth, she will be bitterly surprised. For while the lovers stalk Abraham Van Helsing, the mysterious doctor who is the key to Vlad's destruction, Zsuzsanna discovers that Elisabeth has a secret life ... and a pact with the one being more powerful and more dangerous that Dracula: the mythical Dark Lord ...

With this spellbinding novel, the crowning work in Jeanne Kalogridis's heralded vampire trilogy, the final drama is played out - with the soul of humankind hanging in the balance ...
