      »Bogata i topla priča, kao čokolada!« Mary Chamberlain Brazil 1824. Proslavljena spisateljica Maria Graham kreće na opasno putovanje iz Brazila u London kako bi svome izdavaču dostavila svoja dva najnovija romana. Godinu dana nakon gubitka svog voljenog muža, Maria je puna nade u budućnost i odlučna živjeti svoj život kao slobodna žena i znanstvenica, daleko od ograničenja britanskog društva. Za ženu koja putuje sama to putovanje nosi mnoštvo opasnosti, a dok oko nje bjesni brazilski građanski rat, jedini brod koji kreće prema Europi pripada kapetanu Jamesu Hendersonu, šarmantnom krijumčaru kakaovca. Tijekom dugotrajne plovidbe prema Londonu, Maria otkiva dvije šokantne tajne- neodoljivu privlačnost prema zagonetnom kapetanu, kao i opasnu tajnu koja je može dovesti u pogibeljnu opasnost…

    • Sebastian Rudd is not your typical street lawyer. He works out of a customized bulletproof van, complete with Wi-Fi, a bar, a small fridge, fine leather chairs, a hidden gun compartment, and a heavily armed driver. He has no firm, no partners, no associates, and only one employee, his driver, who's also his bodyguard, law clerk, confidant, and golf caddy. He lives alone in a small but extremely safe penthouse apartment, and his primary piece of furniture is a vintage pool table. He drinks small-batch bourbon and carries a gun. Sebastian defends people other lawyers won't go near:a drug-addled, tattooed kid rumored to be in a satanic cult, who is accused of molesting and murdering two little girls; a vicious crime lord on death row; a homeowner arrested for shooting at a SWAT team that mistakenly invaded his house. Why these clients? Because he believes everyone is entitled to a fair trial, even if he, Sebastian, has to cheat to secure one. He hates injustice, doesn't like insurance companies, banks,or big corporations; he distrusts all levels of government and laughs at the justice system's notions of ethical behavior.

      Late one night, exploring her father's library, a young woman finds an ancient book and a cache of yellowing letters addressed ominously to 'My dear and unfortunate successor'. Her discovery plunges her into a world she never dreamed of - a labyrinth where the secrets of her father's past and her mother's mysterious fate connect to an evil hidden in the depths of history. In those few quiet moments, she unwittingly assumes a quest she will discover is her birthright - a hunt for the truth about Vlad the Impaler, the medieval ruler whose barbarous reign formed the basis of the Dracula myth. Deciphering obscure signs and hidden texts, reading codes worked into the fabric of medieval monastic traditions, and evading terrifying adversaries, one woman comes ever closer to the secret of her own past and a confrontation with the very definition of evil. Elizabeth Kostova's debut novel is an adventure of monumental proportions - a captivating tale that blends fact and fantasy, history and the present with an assurance that is almost unbearably suspenseful - and utterly unforgettable.
