About this audiobook
Before Wanga, there was Europe. Before the legend, there was a bloodline.
In sixteenth-century Europe, a secret child is born to Erzsébet Báthory and spirited away before history can learn her name. But powerful eyes are already searching.
Catherine de’ Medici has seen a prophecy connecting the Báthory bloodline to something impossible: flesh that refuses age and years that can somehow be purchased. With Nostradamus’s warning in her hands and a dynasty dying around her, Catherine wants the secret found.
What follows crosses generations, kingdoms, plague, fire and persecution as experiment becomes knowledge, knowledge becomes inheritance, and one hidden family learns that survival depends upon staying ahead of history.
Dark, sweeping and wickedly irreverent, BATHORY: Book One: Europe begins the centuries-long journey that will eventually lead Maggie Bathory to a little town beneath the Australian sun.
