Baroness of Blood — Elaine Bergstrom

To the people of Kislova, Baron Janosk was a tyrant, but to young llsabet, he was simply Father. When the baron was summarily executed, the people cheered, but llsabet wept . . . and plotted revenge.

The benevolent new ruler could not have known that the blade stroke of an instant would open the wound of a lifetime. But llsabet knew, and she kept the wound festering. She worked her revenge slowly and sweetly, a revenge like the best of poisons. . . .

Baroness of Blood is the tenth in an open-ended series of Gothic horror tales dealing with the masters and monsters of the RAVENLOFT® dark fantasy setting.
