The Dacha in the Forest

With the Iron Curtain fallen Caroline eagerly heads to the Bialowieza Forest where it is said her family comes from hoping to that some of them have survived the two world wars that have left their scars on Poland. She finds more than what she was expecting.

Ninety years earlier Emma Miller stumbles upon Count Eduard Nikolayevich Lepyokin living quietly in the Bialowieza Forest, sharing his forest clearing with the wisents but there is something odd about him. He lives in a twilight darkness and when she tells her brother he jokes she’s met a Vampire; but is he? She is intrigued by the quiet Russian and because of her he ventures out of his home and follows her back to London.
