[The Diaries of the Family Dracul 03] • Le sang du vampire

After the death of his half brother, Stefan, at the hands of Vlad Tsepesh--

also known as Dracula--and after the destruction of his vampire father,

Arkady, also at the hands of Vlad, Abraham van Helsing has traveled the world

slaying many vampires. With every vampire he destroys, Bram becomes stronger

and Vlad weaker, and soon Bram hopes he will be able to finally kill the

fearsome vampire who has kept the Tsepesh family enslaved through a centuries-

old blood ritual.

But a desperate Vlad and his vampire great-niece, Zsuzanna, summon help from

the most powerful, brutal, and beautiful vampire of all--Countess Elizabeth of

Bathory. Bram learns of their plot to destroy him, and makes his own move to

strike out at Vlad before Vlad can put him to death. He teams up with a

courageous band of humans as he hunts Vlad--including Mina Harker and John

Seward--and they finally succeed in killing the head of the Tsepesh clan, just

as Bram Stoker foretold in _Dracula._ But the terror does not end with the

death of Vlad, for there is another force that drives Vlad, Zsuzanna,

Elizabeth and all the vampires, an ancient entity more evil than anything Bram

has ever encountered: the Lord of the Vampires. And for Bram to defeat this

dark lord, he must once again risk losing his very soul, to save not only his

family, but humanity as well.

In her final book in _The Diaries of the Family Dracul_ trilogy, Jeanne

Kalogridis brilliantly melds her own fascinating story of the Tsepesh family

with that of Bram Stoker's classic, _Dracula._ Told in diary form like the

first two books and Stoker's own chilling tale, LORD OF THE VAMPIRES reveals

the dark, startling truths behind the original _Dracula._
