Return of the Dragon

Return of the Dragon tells the terrifying tale of a mysterious vampire in 1950s Romania on an arduous trek to his castle in Transylvania.

After learning scattered details of the vampire’s journey through a string of letters and reports about terrifying incidents through the years, readers meet Gheorghe in the town of Oradea. In post-WWII Romania, the Soviet-backed secret police are using harsh tactics to impose communist ideals, and regular people like Gheorghe are forced to go along with their comrades to survive.

After a string of child abductions occur, Gheorghe’s scheming superior suspects that a group called the Order of the Dragon is trying to undermine the People’s Republic, and he seizes the opportunity to ingratiate himself to his Russian overlords by nipping them in the bud.

As Gheorghe investigates the mysterious disappearances further, he’s drawn deeper and deeper into the chilling world of the “Master.”

With his gypsy blood allowing the powerful vampire to pressure him from one side and his arrogant boss pushing him to help further his agenda from the other, Gheorghe feels as if he’s stuck in a vise that’s closing in around him—and there’s no escape!
