Lady Of The Shroud

Lady of the Shroud

by Bram Stoker

The story delves into a utopian experiment in a fictitious Balkan country known as the Land of the Blue Mountains. The narrative spans from 1892 to 1909, intertwining a compelling love story with an adventurous plot involving daring rescues requiring strength, cunning, and advanced technology. The protagonist, a deeply admirable individual, becomes the unifying element, wielding immense power that serves as a test of his character. The narrative includes a captivating portrait of a villainous figure, juxtaposed against a cast of admirable characters each possessing unique qualities. While the inclusion of business meetings and legal documents in their entirety, as well as a prolonged mystery surrounding a shroud, contributes to a slower pace at times, the action is undeniably thrilling when it unfolds. The diverse cast of characters, brought to life through an epistolary format, adds further dynamism to the text.
