“Come to me, and be mine for eternity”

1903. John Seward, survivor of Count Dracula’s murderous campaign
ten years before, admits a new patient to
his Oxford asylum. But the case resurrects horrors he’s spent a decade trying to bury.

1884. Mafalda journeys to Budapest to care for her
grieving Aunt Reka, but Reka is haunted by something darker
than sorrow.

The chilling truth pushes Mafalda to seek comfort in her secret love, Lucy, who hurries from
London with chaperone Eliza and lady’s maid Alice.

But Alice, blessed and cursed with the Sight, is tormented by terrifying visions.
When her mistress Eliza falls prey
to a disturbing wasting illness, the healing waters of Transylvania seem to offer hope.

At a local nobleman’s
invitation, the women set out for Castle Dracula...

. . .

Charlotte Cross writes historical fiction, having been fascinated by stories of the past since she was a child. She grew up in southern England in a small town with a rich history, and spent many happy hours at the local museum where her grandmother was a volunteer. Charlotte now lives in central Scotland with her partner and their opinionated ginger cat. When not writing, she enjoys yoga, reading Victorian novels, and exploring her adopted country. The Brides is her first novel.
