Legend, history, and passion collide in this gritty, evocative, and sensual story about history's most notorious price and the woman who paid love's ultimate price. The year is 1464, and young King Matthias controls Hungary, his family, and the fate of the world’s most notorious political prisoner, Prince Vlad Dracula. Ilona Szilágy, the king’s cousin, is young and ambitious. Dracula is determined to marry into the Hunyadi family. It is love at first sight…but the king has other plans. The Impaler Prince, however, never takes no for an answer. This begins Ilona’s journey into the treacherous world of court intrigues, family betrayals, and her husband’s dark desires. Eager to become Vlad’s trusted confidant, Ilona soon discovers that marriage to a man tortured by his past comes with a price. Woven throughout is a peek into the life and times of one of the world’s most enigmatic and maligned rulers…the man before the legend. With Bardot’s decadent period detail and a cast of gritty evocative characters, The Impaler’s Wife offers a fierce yet sensuous glimpse into the violent 15th century.

Review: This is a book I really would have loved to read in Oct, just because of the subject matter of the book. I mean, Vlad Dracula? 

This book was so wonderful and I found myself googling quite a bit while reading this, not that there is a whole lot known about her or her marriage, so this makes this a nice "what if" sort of novel. OK, saying nice is probably not a good word choice when discussing a book about Vlad the Impaler. Its probably better to say it makes for an intriguing reading.

From the first page you are swept into Ilona's world you won't be able to put it down the book until its finished.
