520    "From the #1 bestselling author of The Historian comes an 
       engrossing novel that spans the past and the present--and 
       unearths the dark secrets of Bulgaria, a beautiful and 
       haunted country. A young American woman, Alexandra Boyd, 
       has traveled to Sofia, Bulgaria, hoping that life abroad 
       will salve the wounds left by the loss of her beloved 
       brother. Soon after arriving in this elegant East European
       city, however, she helps an elderly couple into a taxi--
       and realizes too late that she has accidentally kept one 
       of their bags. Inside she finds an ornately carved wooden 
       box engraved with a name: Stoyan Lazarov. Raising the 
       hinged lid, she discovers that she is holding an urn 
       filled with human ashes. As Alexandra sets out to locate 
       the family and return this precious item, she will first 
       have to uncover the secrets of a talented musician who was
       shattered by oppression--and she will find out all too 
       quickly that this knowledge is fraught with its own 
       danger. Kostova's new novel is a tale of immense scope 
       that delves into the horrors of a century and traverses 
       the culture and landscape of this mysterious country. 
       Suspenseful and beautifully written, it explores the power
       of stories, the pull of the past, and the hope and meaning
       that can sometimes be found in the aftermath of loss. 
       Praise for Elizabeth Kostova's The Historian "Quite 
       extraordinary. Kostova is a natural storyteller. She has 
       refashioned the vampire myth into a compelling 
       contemporary novel, a late-night page-turner."--San 
       Francisco Chronicle "Hypnotic. a thrill ride through 
       history."--The Denver Post "Part thriller, part history, 
       part romance. Kostova has a keen sense of storytelling and
       she has a marvelous story to tell."--Baltimore Sun 
       "Kostova's vampire is no campy Lugosi knockoff. Blending 
       history and myth, Kostova has fashioned a version so fresh
       that when a stake is finally driven through a heart, it 
       inspires the tragic shock of something happening for the 
       very first time."--Newsweek Praise for The Swan Thieves 
       "Exquisite."--The Boston Globe "Engrossing."--O: The Oprah
       Magazine "Stunning. A beautifully written tale of art, 
       love and an obsession triggered by both."--Associated 
       Press"--|cProvided by publisher.
