The Books
Each novella stands alone. Together they form a world. Three protagonists, three mythologies, one shared universe of belief-shaped power.
Protagonist — Anastasia Drăculea (Ana)
Blood of the Impaler
“The granddaughter of Vlad the Impaler discovers what runs in her blood.”
Anastasia Drăculea has spent her life restoring rare books and ignoring the whispers about her family name. When a mysterious illness wakes something ancient inside her, she must confront the truth: she is a Strigoi — not by bite, but by blood. A supernatural legacy dormant for generations, now fully awake in the gaslamp streets of Victorian Bucharest.

Verified Amazon reviews from readers across the series.
“Blood of the Impaler is unlike any vampire story I've read. The historical detail makes it feel real — Ana is a fully-formed character navigating a world that wants to define her.”

“I read all three in a weekend. The shared universe mechanic — powers shaped by cultural belief — is genuinely original. This isn't just another monster story.”

“I wasn't prepared for how emotional Malbête would be. Alban carries 260 years of inherited guilt and he doesn't even know it yet. That reveal gutted me.”

“Malbête reads like a true-crime documentary that turns into supernatural horror. The pace is perfect. By the time you realise what's happening, you're too invested to stop.”

“I adore Nine Tailed Idol. As a Korean reader, seeing the Gumiho mythology treated with this much care and depth is everything I wanted. Sun-Mi's K-pop story layer makes it completely fresh.”

“The atmosphere in Blood of the Impaler is immaculate. Victorian Bucharest feels lived-in and threatening in equal measure. Ana's transformation scenes are haunting.”

“The Strigoi Symbol description in Blood of the Impaler is such a clever piece of world-building. The inverted cross encoding the family's fall — that's the level of detail this whole series operates at.”

“The Codex entries referenced in the novellas made me want to explore the whole shared universe. Such smart marketing — I bought all three books to find all the lore threads.”

“Malbête hit different. The slow realisation of what Alban is — the silver whistle detail, the history of the Chastel family — incredible world-building woven into a tense thriller.”

“Sun-Mi is my favourite fictional K-pop star ever. The idol life chapters feel lived in, and then the Gumiho mythology just elevates everything. Genuinely unputdownable.”

“Nine Tailed Idol's depiction of the Korean spiritual world felt authentic. I loved that Sun-Mi isn't haunted — she IS the spirit. The distinction matters enormously to the whole story.”

“Ana is the most compelling vampire protagonist I've encountered. She isn't a monster or a victim — she's a scholar grappling with an inheritance she never asked for. Perfect.”
