Il secondo avvincente volume della trilogia I diari della famiglia Dracula, che penetra sempre più profondamente nei terrificanti segreti del Dracula di Bram Stoker. Tutti i figli primogeniti della famiglia Tsepesh, di generazione in generazione, sono legati da un antico e tremendo patto con Vlad Tsepesh, meglio conosciuto come Dracula l'Impalatore. Arkady Tsepesh è stato consegnato allo zio come già suo nonno aveva fatto con suo padre. Ha tentato di ribellarsi e fuggire, ma ha fallito. Anche lui ora è un vampiro, condannato a vagare per le selvagge e nebbiose lande della Transilvania nutrendosi del sangue delle sue vittime. Ma ha ancora un unico, bruciante desiderio che lo sostiene in questa sua orribile non-vita: distruggere Vlad prima che riduca in eterna schiavitù anche il suo primogenito Stefan, che vive con la madre ad Amsterdam, ignaro di tutto. Ma giunge troppo tardi: Vlad ha già rapito Stefan e lo tiene prigioniero nel suo castello. Arkady dovrà chiedere aiuto ad Abraham Van Helsing, fratellastro di Stefan. Spetterà ad Abraham vincere le resistenze della ragione e accompagnarlo nei territori dell'ignoto, in una lotta disperata contro le pallide, gelide creature dalla bellezza sovrumana, assetate di sangue e capaci di orrori indicibili. «Dopo Bram Stoker, ne I diari della famiglia Dracula rivive il fascino oscuro e sensuale delle creature della notte, sullo sfondo di una Transilvania splendida e ostile.» The New York Times Book Review
