Dracula's Battle: The Cross and the Crescent Moon (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798218913533)

Dracula's Battle: The Cross and the Crescent Moon is a dark historical fantasy set against the brutal realities of fifteenth-century Europe, where faith, power, and survival collide.

In the 1450s, Wallachia stands at the crossroads of empires. Vlad III-later known to history as Vlad the Impaler-must defend his fragile principality from the expanding Ottoman Empire while navigating the treacherous demands of Christian Europe. Bound by an arranged marriage yet torn by a forbidden love, Vlad's personal desires threaten to undermine his duty as prince.

As Pope Pius II calls for unity against the Ottoman advance, a darker struggle unfolds beyond mortal politics. God and Satan contend for dominion in a world where belief shapes destiny. When Vlad and his most loyal companions are transformed into monstrous beings of legend, he must confront the cost of power and the meaning of damnation.

Blending meticulous historical detail with supernatural horror, the novel builds toward the historically documented Battle of the Blood Drinkers on June 17, 1462-a confrontation that will decide the fate of Wallachia and the soul of its ruler.

Dracula's Battle reimagines the origins of the Dracula legend through a lens of history, theology, and war.
