About the book: 2020 / Mysticism and folklore are intertwined into one amazing story about the ruler of Wallachia - Prince Vladislav from the Drakulesti clan, whose whole life was spent in endless and a ruthless fight against external and internal enemies. His subjects lived in fear and tried not to come into his sight unless absolutely necessary. However, at night the capital of Wallachia found itself in the power of another ruler, even more merciless... Investigator Malashkin, familiar with Dracula from books and films, of course, did not believe in his existence, but the details of one very unusual case plunged him into doubt. A dead man who came to life and escaped from the morgue, a hospital storekeeper who died from loss of blood, the loss of blood tubes from a clinical laboratory... Is there really a vampire operating in the city and its environs, who comes out of the ground at night and drinks the blood of the living to satisfy his eternal hunger?..
