The Real Dracula: The True Story of Vlad the Impaler (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798199141222)

For centuries, the name Dracula has been surrounded by darkness, blood, and fear.

But before the vampire, there was a real man.

Vlad the Impaler was not a creature of the night. He was a medieval ruler of Wallachia, born into a world of betrayal, war, shifting alliances, and the rising threat of the Ottoman Empire.

To some, he was a cruel tyrant. To others, he was a defender of his land. His enemies called him a monster. His people remembered him as a ruler who brought order through fear.

The Real Dracula takes you beyond the legend and into the brutal world of the fifteenth century, exploring Vlad's noble origins, his years as a hostage at the Ottoman court, his rise to power, his terrifying punishments, his war against the sultan, and the dark stories that transformed him into one of history's most feared names.

This is not the story of a vampire.

This is the story of the man who became a legend.
