The Nightingales Castle tells the story of a woman fighting for her survival and the complicated, often cruel, household over which she presides.Praise for The Nightingales CastleMoving, fascinating and haunting.. A mesmerising combination of gothic horror and elegant restraint Francesca De Tores, author of SaltbloodGripping... a fascinating exploration of womens struggle to have their truth heard Louise ONeillIn 1573, Countess Erzsebet Bathory gave birth to an illegitimate child. The infant, a girl, was swiftly bundled up and handed to a local peasant family to be brought up in one of the hamlets surrounding the Castle. Many years later, 15-year-old Boroka reluctantly leaves the safety of the only home she has ever known in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains. Trusted members of the countesss household have been sent out to gather new serving girls, and the kindly old man who has taken care of Boroka for almost all her life knows that it is dangerous to turn them away.Boroka struggles to find her place at Cachtice Castle: she is frightened of the countesss reputation as an alleged murderer of young girls, and the women who run the castle are terrifyingly cruel. When plague comes into the heart of the castle, a tentative bond begins to form between Boroka and the Countess Bathory. But powerful forces are moving against a woman whose wealth poses such a threat to the king: can the countess really trust the women who are so close to her? And when the show trial begins against the infamous Blood Countess where will Borokas loyalties lie? Author Biography Sonia Velton, a former lawyer, is the author of two other books.
