Aprašymas

There's more than one way to feed her hunger.

THE HANDMAID
Hungary, 1604. Orphaned and alone, Catalina arrives at Csejte Castle with no protection and no power. It is a place of shifting loyalties, and girls who displease the household simply vanish. Survival here depends on obedience - and silence.

THE COUNTESS
Catalina is summoned to serve Countess Erzsébet Báthory, a woman as volatile as she is feared. Only Catalina seems able to soothe her moods, drawing Catalina into her private chambers and her interest in strange 'medicines'.

THE COMPULSION
As more girls disappear, Catalina knows there is a cost to staying alive. She must decide whether to try and escape her mistress' hunger, be consumed by it - or learn to feed it herself...

Perfect for fans of Weyward and The Doll Factory, this gothic historical thriller is Dracula meets The Favourite, inspired by the alleged most prolific female serial killer of all time.
