Overview
Alexander Delacroix's darkly romantic debut Heart of the Impaler is perfect for fans of Kiersten White's And I Darken.
Vlad Dracula has long lived in the shadows cast by his bloodthirsty father, the voivode, and his older brother, Mircea. Despite their cruelty, Vlad has yearned to prove himself worthy of the throne his whole life. In the cold halls of the voivode's palace, Vlad can only rely on his cousin and closest friend, Andrei Musat.
When Vlad and Andrei meet Ilona CsƔki, the daughter of an influential boyar, they each find themselves inextricably drawn to her. But then Ilona is betrothed to Mircea as part of a political alliance, and Vlad's resentfulness of his brother begins to seethe into something far darker.
Ilona has no desire to marry the voivodeās eldest son, but love and marriage are the least of her worries. The royal familyās enemies have already tried to put an arrow through her backāand if anyone discovers her blossoming feelings for Andrei and Vlad, she may just wish theyād succeeded.
Beneath the shadow of impending war, the only battle that will be deadlier than the one for Ilonaās life will be the one for her heart.
Praise for Heart of the Impaler:
"Flowing and fast-paced as court intrigue, spies, family secrets, romance, twists, and turns pull readers into fifteenth-century Romaniaāand into the heart of Vlad the Impaler. Highly recommended." āBooklist
"Delacroix adroitly immerses readers in a delicious blend of romance and 15th-century politics that leans more historical than mythic, while exploring the power of love to change historyās tides." āPublishers Weekly
