An absorbing and mysterious modern romance inspired by the past – perfect for anyone who loves intrigue, mystery and passion... 

Can a small-town singer from Romania and a PR Svengali perform the impossible – transform the legacy of Dracula from evil to good?

Nicoleta, a country girl from a Transylvanian village, goes to London to seek fame and fortune as a singer. There she meets a provocative English Lord who owns a media empire and a PR guru looking for a young star to make the headlines.

Their idea: To turn Nicoleta into a re-creation of Ilona, the wife of Vlad III, the Romanian prince who inspired the legend of Dracula. As Nicoleta becomes increasingly immersed in the role of Ilona, historical mystery and modern romance combine to ask the question:

Could Dracula be alive and living in the 21st Century?
