Anno Dracula

In an audacious alternate 1959 Rome, where Count Dracula reigns as a formidable global power, the Eternal City prepares for his sixth marriage, this time to the enigmatic Moldavian Princess Asa Vajda. Amidst the opulent yet unnerving atmosphere, journalist Kate Reed arrives, ostensibly to visit her ailing mentor, Charles Beauregard, and his vampire companion, Geneviève Dieudonné. However, her true journalistic instincts quickly draw her into a chilling mystery: a serial killer known as the "Crimson Executioner" is systematically and gruesomely dispatching powerful vampire elders across the city. As Kate delves deeper, navigating a labyrinthine world of ancient bloodlines, political intrigue, and shadowy cabals, she discovers she is not alone in her pursuit of justice. Fellow hunters, some human, some supernatural, each with their own motives, converge on the trail of the elusive killer, forcing Kate to confront not only the dark secrets of Rome's vampire society but also the very nature of power and monstrosity in a world forever altered by the Prince of Darkness. This installment plunges readers into a vibrant, blood-soaked noir landscape, blending historical figures with supernatural terror.
