Publisher's Synopsis
In the midst of the 17th century Gothic setting, the Horvath mansion stands in the isolated land, surrounded by lavish gardens and a nearby cemetery. At the mansion, a beautiful woman of high society- Countess Elizaveta of Horvath is known for her ravishing beauty and mystical parties. Time goes by and Elizaveta meets Tivadar- an immortal character, whose bizarre transformations from raven to man leave her completely besotted with him. Elizaveta falls deeply in love with him, however she knows her beauty will not last forever. She encounters an old woman Draconia, who makes her way into the mansion by promising the Countess to teach her old blood rituals, which would preserve her youth and grant her immortality. She keeps Elizaveta under a lucid dark spell, making her proceed with dreadful ceremonies.
Hoping to achieve her sacred desires, the Countess commits a series of petrifying crimes that put an evil reference to her name for centuries to come...
Inspired greatly by the life story of Countess Elizabeth Báthory de Ecsed, who was a Hungarian noblewoman and alleged serial killer from the Báthory family.
