Summary
Ellen has always felt different. Her psychic gifts have brought both terror and exhilaration, but above all, a relentless pull toward darkness. It finally pushes her father to isolate her, leaving her heartbroken and desperately lonely. In her sorrow, she cries out to the void—and He answers. This seductive phantom invades her dreams, offering eternal devotion, if only she swears herself to him. Unable to resist, she surrenders, igniting years of blinding passion. He cherishes and understands her as no one else ever has. The sight of his monstrous form shakes her, yet the darkness within her yearns for him. These nightly visits continue for years. Until she meets Thomas. His love fills her waking hours, and Ellen’s trances end. When they marry, dread looms. Thomas pulls away, repelled by her strange ways. He disappears on an ill-fated business trip, and death and plague descend on her city. Ellen knows—He is responsible. Orlok is coming for her. Despite his evil, Ellen cannot deny the call to his darkness. She summons him—not just to end the devastation, but to embrace her fate.
