Midnight Covenant

Cursed in Crimson, Book 1

In this slow-burning and unsettling gothic reimagining of Dracula, a young bride is delivered to a Transylvanian castle where secrets fester in the walls—and her survival depends on trusting the instincts she has been taught to ignore.

Sold into marriage by her father’s reckless gamble, Mina Murray travels across Europe to wed a Transylvanian nobleman cloaked in mystery.

The castle towers above the mountains, a fortress of stone and silence that seems to watch her every step. Once inside, she feels trapped within a gilded cage—every door locked, every corridor alive with listening shadows.

The Count is charming, yet secretive, and Mina soon realizes the truth her new husband conceals may be far more monstrous than she dares imagine. Silenced and far from home, she must trust her instincts if she hopes to survive the castle—and the master who rules it.

Midnight Covenant is the first book of the Cursed in Crimson duology.
