Irish author, Nolene Patricia Dougan is the new Anne Rice. Rice fans will love Dougan's work.
Genre: Historical Fiction
Title: Vrolok
AUTHOR: Nolene-Patricia Dougan
Titled, Vrolok, the Slovakian word for Vampire may classify this book as horror fiction or paranormal but the content is historical fiction at its finest.
Vrolok takes readers on a journey into the past as we meet Isabella, the beautiful and independent woman who lives in Transylvania more than 500 years ago. Never one to obey rules, Isabella’s curiosity leads her to the castle of Vlad Dracula where her life takes a dramatic turn. Vlad has led his troops in battle against the Turks and thirsts for power. Although married to Nicolae, Isabella is entranced by Vlad and is soon joined to him as she could be to no other.
This is not a blood and gore novel of vampires who stalk innocent victims under cover of night, but a literary tale of how Vlad and Isabella intermingle with some of history’s most famous and notorious characters. Emotions run high in this tumultuous relationship and the two are often separated for years. Isabella has an inbred goodness that constantly arises throughout her long life, keeping her from becoming a shallow blood- thirsty monster. Over the centuries, the immortal Isabella spends time with playwright Kit (Christopher) Marlowe, the Medicis Godfather’s of the Renaissance in Italy, Countess Elizabeth Bathory, Van Helsing of Holland, Wyatt Earp and many more colorful and larger than life historical figures.
The author’s research and carefully presented facts are beyond reproach. Her skill as a writer and gifted storyteller excel as readers follow Isabella on her time travel. Captivating characters plus exciting action and adventure, have readers mesmerized by this story of love and hate, jealousy and survival. Nolene-Patricia Dougan lives in Ravara, Ireland and we await more from this talented writer.
Enchanting, entertaining and educational this is one book that historical fiction fans as well as horror and paranormal followers will love. Highly recommended by Reviewer: Shirley Roe, Allbooks Reviews.
