Beginning fifty years before the start of Bram Stoker's novel,
Covenant With a Vampire introduces us to Dracula's family, who are
bound by a covenant as ancient as their blood to serve Dracula and to protect
him. At the castle of Prince Vlad Tepesh, also known as Dracula,
Vlad's great-nephew Arkady has recently taken over the job of managing
the thriving, busy estate. Arkady is honored to care for his beloved
though eccentric great-uncle... until he begins to realize what is expected
of him in his new role. Either he provides his great-uncle with victims
to satisfy his needs, or Vlad will kill those Arkady loves. He is
trapped into becoming a party to murder and sadistic torture. And
it is in his blood. When Arkady learns that his newborn son is being
groomed to follow one day in his footsteps, he knows that he must fight
Dracula, even if it means his own death.

This was an enjoyable book, which I probably would have enjoyed
far more if I would continue to read the other two books that follow this
one it the trilogy. I'm planning on it, but it's just that there
are so many other books out their to read. I'll get around to it
after some time, and then I'll rewrite this. Until then, judging
from the first of this trilogy, I would suggest this book to anyone interested
in vampires.
