"A Dowry of Blood is an intoxicating perfume that lingers - an undying love story where beauty and horror clasp hands."
—Rachel Gillig, New York Times bestselling author of One Dark Window
“Seductive, lyrical, and rich with period detail, this daring retelling casts the Harkers' story aside to follow Dracula's medieval bride and her tangled romance with his consorts over the centuries. The horror—pulsing and beautiful—comes as much from Constanta’s insights into her husband’s psychology as it does from bloodlust. A dark triumph.”
