Dracula: Impaler Lord

by Tom Atkinson

A man of many names. Revered, reviled and misrepresented.
Vlad Basarab. The Impaler. Dracula.
This is the man behind the name and the man behind the man

Gregory Tordai, born to impoverished nobility, is just a man when he leaves home for the reaches of Dracula’s Wallachia. And there, through fortune and fate, Gregory finds himself as Dracula’s right-hand man, defending him from traitors and foreign empires alike. Behind a trail of blood and suffocating black smoke, Gregory secures Dracula’s power as he spirals into atrocity. As Vlad becomes known as the Impaler, Gregory must decide whether Dracula is still the man to follow into battle, or
even just someone he can trust.

Taking a unique form, a combination of first-person narrative and oral history, Dracula: Son of the Dragon is a true and authentically-created chronicle of Vlad the Impaler. A must-read for those fans of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, to discover the truth of the man whose name has become synonymous with vampires and Transylvania, and an ideal novel for fans of historical adventure.

Join Gregory on a quest of ambition and retribution, one that transcends generations, and discover the story of the man behind the name- Dracula.

About the author

Tom Atkinson was born in 1995 and raised in Worcester in the UK. He took to the pen as soon as he could hold it and spent much of his time writing poems and short stories, especially poorly-conceived 'Lord of the Rings' follow-ups. As he matured, though, his focus switched to his other love, history, and then, at 19 years old, he combined his passions for history and literature in writing and releasing his first novel. This novel ('When the Eagle Rules in the Place of the Yew Trees') is historical fiction, following a slave and his identity crisis in Roman York. Due to inexperience, though, the proper process for this project was not followed and is considered incomplete.

The 'Blood Libel' series followed, focusing on the struggles of the Jews in Medieval England, amid the Crusades in the east and a tragedy in Norwich. Since then, Tom has been working on Ancient Greek historical fiction, 'The Spears of Poseidon'. He writes for passion and pleasure, instead of money, and so he appreciates every reader and review greatly. It may still be early days for Tom, but that pen will always be in his hand.
