{"product_id":"vlad-the-impaler-jd-arden-9798266715547","title":"Vlad the Impaler: Lord of Blood","description":"He called himself Drăculea - Son of the Dragon - and taught a borderland a new grammar of fear. Born a prince in a land wedged between empires, Vlad III learned power as a boy with chains on his wrists and threats in his ears. He returned not softened but sharpened: hostage and exile turned magistrate of terror, using spectacle and law until fear did what loyalty would not. Forests of the impaled and whispering rivers were not accidents; they were policy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is not a gory chronicle or a hagiography. It is a lean, hard look at how a man made terror into government and how rumor and politics turned him into myth. JD Arden follows the hinge-pin moments - hostagehood, betrayal, seizure, spectacle, war, and legend - and shows how cruelty can be both a tool and a story. Read if you want history with the cut of a knife and the chill of a tale that will not leave your bones warm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jd Arden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798266715547\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.32d","brand":"Jd Arden","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48454248038655,"sku":"9798266715547","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9d83d967-6117-46ff-90fe-2f1c83bbcb34.jpg?v=1777305065","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vlad-the-impaler-jd-arden-9798266715547","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
