The first book in the Nosferatu Conspiracy series is a Gothic supernatural thriller set in Saint Petersburg, Russia, against the backdrop of the Fall of the Romanov Dynasty. It is an "suspense-filled alternative retelling of Rasputin's diabolical influence over the final days of the Romanov Dynasty, evoking elements of Jack the Ripper and Vlad Dracula." The story begins with the mysterious disappearance of Tsar Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra, and their five children in December 1916. This contrasts with the official history, which states that they were executed on July 17, 1918. The novel then follows Rasputin's supposed murder by high-ranking Russian officials, and his subsequent resurrection as a powerful vampire. Rasputin uses his newfound powers to wreak havoc on Saint Petersburg, conjuring ancient vampires and unleashing chaos and destruction. The novel culminates in a showdown between Rasputin and a group of vampire hunters, who must stop him before he can take over the city. The novel is a dark and twisted tale that explores the power of evil and the lengths that people will go to for power. It is a must-read for fans of historical fiction, horror, and suspense.
