# The Historian - Paperback

[**Report copyright infringement**](https://reportcopyrightinfringement.com/)

by **Elizabeth Kostova** (Author)

**The record-breaking phenomenon from Elizabeth Kostova is a celebrated masterpiece that "refashioned the vampire myth into a compelling contemporary novel, a late-night page-turner" (_San Francisco Chronicle_)_._**

Breathtakingly suspenseful and beautifully written, _The Historian_ is the story of a young woman plunged into a labyrinth where the secrets of her family's past connect to an inconceivable evil: the dark fifteenth-century reign of Vlad the Impaler and a time-defying pact that may have kept his awful work alive through the ages. The search for the truth becomes an adventure of monumental proportions, taking us from monasteries and dusty libraries to the capitals of Eastern Europe--in a feat of storytelling so rich, so hypnotic, so exciting that it has enthralled readers around the world.

**"Part thriller, part history, part romance...Kostova has a keen sense of storytelling and she has a marvelous tale to tell." --_Baltimore Sun_**
