Dragon's Ark

They Say He Died in the Land Beyond the Forest . . . But They Were Wrong! For a century, Dracula--the Prince of Nightmares, the Superman of Evil--has been quietly sowing impish dreams in the sleeping souls of a High Sierra community who only know him as the eccentric recluse who lives under the forbidding peak known as Dragon’s Ark. But as the modern world washes away the shadows of his enchanted but haunted world, the Vampire King gives life to a dying woman and ensnares her in a grim and ruthless struggle with greedy resort developers over the future of his mountain kingdom.
