The Dead Travel Fast by Deanna Raybourn
A husband, a family, a comfortable life: Theodora Lestrange lives in terror of it all. With a modest inheritance and the three gowns that comprise her entire wardrobe, Theodora leaves Edinburgh--and a disappointed suitor--far behind. She is bound for Rumania, where tales of vampires are still whispered, to visit an old friend and write the book that will bring her true independence. She arrives at a magnificent, decaying castle in the Carpathians, replete with eccentric inhabitants: the ailing dowager; the troubled steward; her own fearful friend, Cosmina. But all are outstripped in dark glamour by the castle's master, Count Andrei Dragulescu. Bewildering and bewitching in equal measure, the brooding nobleman ignites Theodora's imagination and awakens passions in her that she can neither deny nor conceal. His allure is superlative, his dominion over the superstitious town, absolute--Theodora may simply be one more person under his sway. Before her sojourn is ended--or her novel completed--Theodora will have encountered things as strange and terrible as they are seductive. For obsession can prove fatal.and she is in danger of falling prey to more than desire.A Spear of Summer Grass, The Dead Travel Quickly, and the Lady Julia Grey series are all written by Deanna Raybourn, the New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of A Spear of Summer Grass, The Dead Travel Fast, and the Lady Julia Grey series. The first book in the Lady Julia Grey series, Quiet in the Dead, won the RITA Award for Best Novel with Strong Romantic Elements in 2008. Deanna and her family reside in Virginia.
