Written by English author and historian, Tom Holland, who has written a number of best-selling works on classical and medieval history.

This particular novel explores the idea that famed poet Lord Byron was, in fact, a vampire. Byron's personal physician, John Polidori, is often credited with writing the first modern vampire story, with some people speculating that it was based on Byron.

This intriguing novel presents Rebecca Carville, an academic trying to track down a lost memoir of Byrons, who shockingly comes face-to-face with the immortal man himself.
