If you speak of the Devil, he’ll surely come!
A young Romani girl in medieval Transylvania tries to warn her clan of the evils in her visions.
Her father is too preoccupied with the dangers from the Ottomans and the Transylvanian soldiers, both.
Too scared to speak of the Devil, for to speak too loudly encourages the most Satanic of visits.
The only one to believe her is a young knight she shouldn’t even talk to.
To ignore the warnings has led to death before now. And may do again.
And all the while, the girl’s dreams are looming larger, ever more vivid.
But is death from the Ottomans or the soldiers the worst thing they should fear?
A historical vampire thriller novella.
A terrifying and brooding horror.
Dark fantasy at its very darkest.
