内容简介:In this riveting debut of breathtaking scope, a young girl discovers her father's darkest secret and embarks on a harrowing journey across Europe to complete the quest he never could -- to find history's most legendary fiend: Dracula. When a motherless American girl living in Europe finds a medieval book and a package of letters, all addressed ominously to "My dear and unfortunate successor..." she begins to unravel a thread that leads back to her father's past, his mentor's career, and an evil hidden in the depths of history. In those few quiet moments, she unwittingly assumes a quest she will discover is her birthright: a hunt that nearly brought her father to ruin and may have claimed the life of his adviser and dear friend, history professor Bartholomew Rossi. What does the legend of Vlad the Impaler, the historical Dracula, have to do with the 20th century? Is it possible that Dracula has lived on in the modern world? And why have a select few historians risked reputation, sanity, and even their lives to learn the answer? So begins an epic journey to unlock the secrets of the strange medieval book, an adventure that will carry our heroine across Europe and into the past -- not only to the times of Vlad's heinous reign, but to the days when her mother was alive and her father was still a vibrant young scholar. In the end, she uncovers the startling fate of Rossi, and comes face to face with the definition of evil-- to find, ultimately, that good may not always triumph.

深夜，一个十五岁的美国少女在她父亲书房里发现一本古书和一袋信。每封信的抬头都是“我亲爱的、不幸的继承者”。这些信，开启了一座她做梦都不会梦到的历史“迷宫”，其中有她父亲过去的秘密，以及与隐藏在历史深处的邪恶力量有关的她母亲失踪之谜。
几百年来，一代又一代历史学家们不惜以自己的名誉、安全为代价，苦苦追寻产生吸血鬼的历史源头。中世纪中欧残暴的统治者“刺穿者”弗拉德的下落，从而铲除吸血鬼这一人类历史上最黑暗的力量。少女的父母，多年前就开始了追踪吸血鬼的惊魂之旅。少女决心要追随父母未竟的事业。
