In this beautiful, evocative, and often surreal retelling of Dracula, a fearsome enemy comes from the east, bringing with it horrors the likes of which have never been seen in the British Empire. Standing opposed are Wilhelmina "Mina" Murray and her stalwart companions, united in a cabal that eclipses gender, nationality, and station until the day that they can achieve victory.

The fiction of Mina's world begins to unravel as the spirit of Jonathan Harker reveals the dark truth behind his journey to Transylvania--as well as the tragic fate that awaited him. With Mina now reeling from the loss of one the most important people in her life, will she be able to endure the loss of another to help see through the mission of the Camellia Club?
