Synopsis
In an unspecified year in medieval Romania, a dying young woman is transformed into a vampire by a mysterious, seductive man who names her Constanta. Told as a long letter to her lover explaining why she ultimately killed him, the novel follows Constanta across the centuries as she comes to understand the true nature of the man who made her, watching as he draws two later companions, also transformed and bound to him, into the same possessive, controlling relationship she once mistook for devotion. As Constanta's own understanding of their shared history deepens, she and her fellow companions must reckon with what they owe each other, and what it will take to free themselves from the man who made them all.
