Werwolves. Vampirs. And a deadly quest for the...
During lockdown, while doing some sorting out, I found a mysterious map of a fantasy land drawn by my dad —a wonderful world of knights, bears, forests, and lakes. I had no idea what it was or when he drew it.
It got me thinking about the amount of stuff I didn’t know about Dad, the many stories, and the biggest one of all—where did his side of the family actually come from?
I knew it wasn’t a fantasy land. But it might as well have been – because I knew that long ago, the Tordays originally came from Transylvania. (When I was little, I secretly hoped I was a vampire)
Having nothing else to do, I started reading about this incredible country (now part of modern-day Romania). And became obsessed. By the history, the cultures, the landscape…and, of course, the folklore 🧛♂️
I visited for the first time last year and saw the castles, caves, mountains, and forests for myself.
The story that began that spring day in lockdown grew and grew.
A fantasy version of Transylvania. A kingdom of vampirs. An orphaned werwolf searching for a mysterious treasure…
I couldn’t be more proud or excited about this story, and can’t wait for you to read it, out September 5th.
