Another fantastic vampire tale that is in the fashion of Anne Rice tales. In 1885, Count Dracula came to Londa intent on spreading the pestilence of vampirism to the heart of Britain. The monster was defeated by Van Helsing, and the world was thus, saved.
This book supposes that Van Helsing had failed and that Dracula's conquest was successful.
In 1888, the Widow of Windsor has remarried, taking as her new consort Vlad Tepes, the Wallachian Prince infamously known as Count Dracula. A new medieval era has arrived, with enemies of the crown impaled in front of Buckingham Palace. A vampire, Lord Ruthven, is Prime Minister, and another, Sir Francis Varney, is Viceroy of India. The vampire population of London has increased enormously. While some resist Dracula's breed, the bulk of the Queen's subjects are "adjusting." Many actively seek conversion, hoping to advance themselves to join the swelling ranks of the undead.
