Dark historical fiction
Seasons of Power
At the court of King Matthias Corvinus, love is never a private matter. Loyalty carries a price, alliances can become traps, and the truth depends on who has the power to tell it.
The Seasons of Power trilogy follows the dangerous love story of Ilona Szilágyi and Vlad Dracula through the dangerous politics of fifteenth-century Hungary. Their story explores the uneasy distance between the man and the legend—and what it costs to choose your own fate when everyone around you has already decided your place.
