Leaving was only the beginning ... Mina Murray believed distance could loosen the Count's hold, but the nightmare she left in the castle has found its way home with her. As the consequences of Dracula's influence spread and old wounds refuse to heal, Mina is forced to confront a terrifying possibility: some evils cannot be escaped, they must be destroyed. To end the Count's hold once and for all, Mina must face the darkness she thought she'd left behind. But victory may demand a sacrifice greater than she ever imagined. ETERNAL DEMISE is the final book of the Cursed in Crimson duology, a gothic feminist reimagining of Bram Stoker's Dracula.
