      Uhorská grófka Alžbeta Bátoriová (1560 - 1613) bola krásna, bohatá a vzdelaná. Ľudia ju zbožňovali. Vlastná zložitá povaha, mrzutosť a zvrátenosť z nej však spravili pravdepodobne najhroznejšiu vrahyňu v dejinách... Keď sa v šestnástich rokoch dostala k moci, začala sa oddávať hýreniu. Výdatne jej v tom pomáhala duchovná radkyňa Darvulia. Plynutie času a nadmiera čoraz bizarnejších rozkoší v Alžbete napokon vyvolali strach o svoju krásu. Čarodejnice jej poradili, aby si regenerovala telo v kúpeľoch z krvi panien. V grófkiných zámkoch našlo smrť údajne šesťstopäťdesiat mladých žien... Priamy potomok grófky Alžbety Bátoriovej, Drake Bátori-Keresztúr, je maďarský emigrant žijúci v New Yorku na konci dvadsiateho storočia. Po páde komunizmu sa vracia do rodnej krajiny, aby tam hľadal mladosť. Namiesto nej však nájde čosi oveľa desivejšie: všadeprítomné stopy krvilačnej grófky Bátoriovej... Román ponúka pozoruhodné rozprávanie o dvoch epochách a dvoch ľuďoch, ktorí nezapadali do svojej doby. Príbehy Draka a Alžbety autor majstrovsky skombinoval do napínavej kroniky o nadčasovej zmyselnosti a šokujúceho rozprávania o mladosti, starnutí, slobode a moci.
