O knihe

Two travelers uncover the legend of Prince Dracula's treasure, but their research into the Romanian past could awaken much more than just royal riches.

Legend claims that bloodthirsty Romanian prince Vlad "Dracula" left a treasure behind after his death. A fifteenth-century woodcut reveals the harbingers of this treasure: rings of blue flame that rise from the ground only on St. George's Eve. The woodcut is also believed to harbor an evil curse that has kept weaker souls away and the treasure as yet uncovered.

Ben Florand and Manda Murrow are on holiday in Romania during their spring break. On the second day of the Dracula Tour through Bucharest, they come upon a young girl lying at the edge the forest. Her name is Gina Marin, and she claims to have seen the blue flames of legend. Ben and Manda decide to abandon the tour and enlist the help of local librarian Dinu Varmas in an effort to discover the hidden treasure.

While Ben and Manda hope to uncover history, Varmas has something else in mind. Although their initial search seems to produce positive results, the team begins to realize they are on much more than just a treasure hunt. It is possible that the woodcut is capable of more than revealing treasure; it might bring a long-dead prince back from the grave.
