In this enticing and thrilling historical fiction, we learn of Christian Florescu, a Romanian protagonist who is living in communist Romania. Blurring the lines between reality and fiction, Ruta Sepeyes's new novel is a journey into a world that is unfamiliar to many of us - as she highlights that Romania is associated with typically with Bram Stoker's popular novel and character, Dracula. However, the true monster remains to be the complex nexus of politics that colour the lives of the main protagonist and those who surround him.

The book cover, characters, and story line is fascinating and I would love to see how the plot unfolds.
