When young solicitor Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to finalise a property deal with the enigmatic Count Dracula, he little suspects the nightmare that awaits him. The locals whisper of ancient horrors and press crucifixes into his hands; his host is a gaunt, unnaturally pale aristocrat with a disquieting habit of appearing only at night. Trapped in a crumbling castle perched on a precipice, Jonathan uncovers a truth beyond reason: his host is no mortal man, but a creature of centuries, whose powers grow as darkness falls.
Meanwhile, in Whitby, his beloved Mina and her friend Lucy begin to suffer strange, wasting afflictions, and a spectral ship runs aground with a captain lashed to the wheel, his log a testament to unspeakable terror. As a shadow creeps from the Carpathians to the English coast, a small band of allies—including the learned Professor Van Helsing—must confront a force that defies science and religion alike. To stop the Count, the hunted must become the hunters, following him across continents and into the heart of his own dark domain, risking their souls in a battle against an evil that has fed on the living for centuries.
