Pages : 425
Book Description
It had been years since the Great War had finally come to an end, an end so many had thought would be the beginning of their freedom, the freedom they had fought so hard to haveonly to be rudely awakened by Draculas's return. After his exile, Prince Draculas fled the common lands, the same he had terrorized during his reign. But the revolt led by a simple man they called Kataff led to Draculas's ruin. And so it was for all these many quiet years, he conspired his revenge within the hushed folds of his banishment, seeking out in the dark lands of Tarkakk the Dragons, where they had been locked away for hundreds of years for mans protection. Learning, growing, plotting, Draculas dwelt with the dragons, drinking in their devilry and terrible bloodlust and assuming kingship over their kind; becoming a sorcerer of many powers at last, he is able to open again the gates that had been so well locked and, with all the abhorred powers to lead forward his army of dragons, unleashing over the earth the many strange spirits bred in hell, for hell's purpose. With his violent and terrible plans well set, Draculas and his dragon, Hogarth, hunt a particular people, a unique people named the Trinitie, for the elaborate mark of the greater kingdom Shorontoroth upon their arm. For they, with their fire-born horses, the Trinitons, alone are able to withstand his powers and face him in battle, so destroying any and all that claim the signature of Shorontoroth. They are Draculas's and Hogarth's only fear while seeking dominion over the common lands. The Trinities, however, feel the spirit stirring, the flames of a brighter fire grow, issuing from their given marks as their Trinitons come to them, sensing the day growing close. Brought by the dragons, met by man and his guard, the Trinitons, Shorontoroth is calling its own. Though many, only a few will be chosen to stand with the Trinitons and look to the hills against the evil that has rais ed its ugly head to take from them their very soul. War has again come, but this time, Shorontoroth has sent the Trinitons to aid man. And the poisonous fires of Draculas and Hogarth will be answered with the clap of thunder, the strike of lightning, and the beating of brimstone in Shorontoroth's reply.

Book Description
The real Dracula was far from Bram Stoker’s well-mannered aristocrat. Better known as Vlad the Impaler, he was named for his favoured execution method: running a spear through his victim’s lower body, then standing them upright so it skewered their vital organs.In a world ruled by petty tyrants and constantly at war, the young Dracula was held hostage by the Turks while his father was assassinated and his brother was buried alive. Finally released, Dracula conducted an almighty purge, surrounding his palace with noblemen impaled on stakes. Then he turned his attention to military campaigns against the Turks and Bulgars to consolidate his power.Yet to Romanians and the Pope he was a hero and liberator, fighting to protect his kingdom and countrymen from invasion in a complex and treacherous time. And, as an initiate in the Order of the Dragon, Dracula also played a vital (if not entirely noble) part in the fight against the Ottoman war machine.In this full account of Vlad Dracula, James Waterson details the good and the bad of this warlord prince, offering a fascinating insight into the violent end of the Middle Ages.

Book Description
When the name Dracula is spoken, what image comes into your mind? Do you think of a bloodthirsty monster made up by an Irish story-teller who never stepped foot on Romanian soil? Or, do you think of a legendary fifteenth century hero of Romania who risked his life and fought courageously to take on the Ottoman empire to protect his land, his people, all of Europe, and all of Christianity? Since the age of 13, Amelia Justine Kari had a quest. Her quest was to one day take a trip to the beautiful lands of Romania, in search of the truth behind the mysterys of the real Prince Dracula. Once on Romanian soil, Amelia would find other forces already at work in search of her. Because of her career choice as a medical technician and her overwhelming fascination with the green eyed, black haired man called Prince Vladislaus Dracula, Amelia was always misunderstood. But, what if Vlad Dracula was also misunderstood? What if the pamphlets and documents written about him, were only made up to control him, use his power, and condemn him to prison? Amelia was determined to find the truth, but she'd have to search deep in her soul to find all the answers.

Powers of Darkness
Author: Bram Stoker
Publisher: Abrams
ISBN: 1468313371
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 458
Book Description
Powers of Darkness is an incredible literary discovery: In 1900, Icelandic publisher and writer Valdimar à?smundsson set out to translate Bram Stoker’s world-famous 1897 novel Dracula. Called Makt Myrkranna (literally, “Powers of Darkness†?), this Icelandic edition included an original preface written by Stoker himself. Makt Myrkranna was published in Iceland in 1901 but remained undiscovered outside of the country until 1986, when Dracula scholarship was astonished by the discovery of Stoker’s preface to the book. However, no one looked beyond the preface and deeper into à?smundsson’s story.In 2014, literary researcher Hans de Roos dove into the full text of Makt Myrkranna, only to discover that à?smundsson hadn’t merely translated Dracula but had penned an entirely new version of the story, with all new characters and a totally re-worked plot. The resulting narrative is one that is shorter, punchier, more erotic, and perhaps even more suspenseful than Stoker’s Dracula. Incredibly, Makt Myrkranna has never been translated or even read outside of Iceland until now.Powers of Darkness presents the first ever translation into English of Stoker and à?smundsson’s Makt Myrkranna. With marginal annotations by de Roos providing readers with fascinating historical, cultural, and literary context; a foreword by Dacre Stoker, Bram Stoker’s great-grandnephew and bestselling author; and an afterword by Dracula scholar John Edgar Browning, Powers of Darkness will amaze and entertain legions of fans of Gothic literature, horror, and vampire fiction.

Dracula
Author: Matei Cazacu
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004349219
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 491
Book Description
Originally published in French in 2004, Matei Cazacu’s Dracula remains the most authoritative scholarly biography of the Wallachian prince Vlad III the Impaler (1448, 1456-1462, 1476). Its core is an exhaustively researched reconstruction of Dracula’s life and political career, using original sources in more than nine languages. In addition Cazacu traces Dracula’s metamorphosis, at the hands of contemporary propagandists, into variously a bloodthirsty tyrant, and an early modern “great sovereign.” Beyond this Cazacu explores Dracula’s transformation into “the vampire prince” in literature, film and folklore, with surprising new discoveries on Bram Stoker’s sources for his novel. In this first English translation, the text and bibliography are updated, and readers are provided with an appendix of the key sources for Dracula’s life, in fresh and accurate English translations.

Vlad III Dracula
Author: Kurt Treptow
Publisher: Histria Books
ISBN: 1592112145
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
The fifteenth century Romanian Prince Vlad III Dracula, also known as Vlad the Impaler, is one of the most fascinating personalities of medieval history. Already during his own lifetime, his true story became obscured by a veil of myths. As a result, he has been portrayed both as a bloody tyrant — who degenerated down throughout the centuries into the fictional vampire of the same name created by Bram Stoker at the end of the nineteenth century — and as a national and Christian hero who bravely fought to defend his native land and all of Europe against the invading Turkish infidels. Even in more recent historiography, the true history of Dracula has been obscured by Communist and nationalist historiography.
