Breathtakingly suspenseful and beautifully written, "The Historian" is the story of a young woman plunged into a labyrinth where the secrets of her family's past connect to an inconceivable evil: the dark fifteenth-century reign of Vlad the Impaler and a time-defying pact that may have kept his awful work alive through the ages.

It won't take you long to get to the end." ---Houston Chronicle
