More about the book

Set against the backdrop of the Spanish-American War, the story follows an Englishman in Aberdeenshire who falls for an American heiress entangled in political intrigue. The plot weaves elements of second sight, kidnapping, and secret codes, blending supernatural themes with a political thriller narrative. Stoker explores national identity and evolving concepts of womanhood, drawing from historical events and personal experiences. Although it garnered praise upon release, it remains less recognized than Stoker's iconic work, Dracula.
