THE GOTHIC TIKTOK SENSATION AND SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
'A thrilling and seductive Gothic rife with spine-tingling tension and dark romance. A Dowry of Blood left me breathless' Alexis Henderson, author of The Year of the Witching
This is my last love letter to you, though some would call it a confession. . .
S.T. Gibson's sensational novel is the darkly seductive tale of Dracula's first bride, Constanta.
Saved from the brink of death by a mysterious stranger, Constanta is transformed from a medieval peasant into a bride fit for an undying king. But when Dracula draws a cunning aristocrat and a starving artist into his web of passion and deceit, Constanta realizes that her beloved is capable of terrible things.
Finding comfort in the arms of her rival consorts, she begins to unravel their husband's dark secrets. With the lives of everyone she loves on the line, Constanta will have to choose between her own freedom and her love for her husband. But bonds forged by blood can only be broken by death.
This beautiful hardback edition will include a bonus short story featuring characters from A Dowry of Blood, titled 'An Encore of Roses'.
A Dowry of Blood is a glittering tale of obsession, seduction and power as told through the letters of Dracula's first bride, Constanta.

WOW!
Just... Wow! It's hard to find the words to describe just how in love I am with this book! The writing style was just incredible, the story dark and tender and so full of feeling! This book had me firmly in it's grip from the very first page until the very last one. I'm definitely going to read every single book the author is going to publish from now on. I've become a huge fan! -

How to get away with murdering your vampire husband?
“A Dowry of Blood” was my first read by S. T. Gibson and I completely adored every line of it. She’s a master at weaving words into the most beautiful prose. It’s the untold story of Dracula’s wives (and husband), a story about polyamory, toxic relationships and classic vampires, all wrapped in the mantle of passionate gothic horror. I’m not surprised this previously indie published book got picked up by a big publisher at all! -

Dracula's first B(R)ITE
A couple of months ago, I read ''An Education in Malice'' by the same author and loved it. Obviously, I had to read this one as well, especially since there is no brides of dracula retelling I know of. This is a beautiful, dark tale about his first bride Constanta and the slow descent from love into violence. Oh and did I mention? Its's a queer reimagining. All the more to love, am I right?! -

A wonderfully told, lush,seductive...
A wonderfully told, lush,seductive vampire novel. I loved everything about it. Kind of a retelling of Dracula, but from the perspective of one of his first brides. Highly recommend this one if you love vampires in general and beautiful prose. -

breaking the cycle
This epistolary novel, written as letters from Dracula's first bride to him, is imbued with her love for him, even in the face of the abuse he inflicted on her. This dynamic intensifies both her emotional turmoil and the manipulative nature of their relationship. Written in a lyrical, ornate style, the use of the second-person POV was perfectly utilized, placing the reader in the position of the victim and thereby empowering them. The novel explores the nuances and subtleties of abuse, gaslighting, and power dynamics, offering a powerful allegory for marital as well as parental abuse.
