A lyrical and dreamy reimagining of Dracula's brides, A Dowry of Blood is a story of desire, obsession, and emancipation.

Saved from the brink of death by a mysterious stranger, Constanta is transformed from a medieval peasant into a bride fit for an undying king. But when Dracula draws a cunning aristocrat and a starving artist into his web of passion and deceit, Constanta realizes that her beloved is capable of terrible things. Finding comfort in the arms of her rival consorts, she begins to unravel their husband's dark secrets.

With the lives of everyone she loves on the line, Constanta will have to choose between her own freedom and her love for her husband. But bonds forged by blood can only be broken by death.

Contains mature themes.

I am truly obsessed with this book, I could ramble about this book forever, and for it only having been 5 hours of my time to listen to; that is impressive. When I first heard about this book I really thought that the queerness and the polyamory of it is what would draw me in, and while I really like those aspects, what truly kept me there was the nuanced depiction of abuse. As someone who has been in an abusive relationship, It can be disheartening to see abusers portrayed as rather black and white, but this was not the case. All in all this book is fantastic with shades of grey and the ending could not have been better. Honestly, pairing the opening words of this book with the closing words gives me chills! This book is fantastic, nuanced, queer, polyamorous (though the polyamory does not start ethically), and gorgeously written. To anyone who can stomach some graphic scenes and heartbreak I 100% reccomend this book.

Obsessed!

I really enjoyed the story and how this was written. The narrorator did a great job really giving life to the characters. This book wasn't what I was expecting but I really enjoyed it. The author did a really good job getting the reader to feel the ups and downs of Constanzas emotions and had a very interesting depiction for the villain of the story. Quick read but there is a lot in there.

Interesting story brought to life by narrorator
