THE COUNTESSCatalina is summoned to serve Countess Erzsébet Báthory, a woman as volatile as she is feared. Only she seems able to soothe her moods, drawing Catalina into the Countess' private chambers and her interest in strange ‘medicines’. THE COMPULSIONAs more girls disappear, Catalina knows there is a cost to staying alive. She must decide whether to try and escape her mistress’ hunger, be consumed by it – or learn to feed it herself…Perfect for fans of Weyward and The Doll Factory, this gothic historical thriller is Dracula meets The Favourite, inspired by the alleged most prolific female serial killer of all time.
