The Petrescu Protocol
Gothic Horror · Dark Romance · Vampires
Dracula wants to die.
Ángela Petrescu believes she can bring him back to life first.
At fifteen, Ángela escaped a human trafficking ring and found refuge where no one would dare look for her: a monster’s castle deep in the Danube Delta. Within its walls, she discovered the man behind the legend… and traces of a centuries-long search for answers.
Years later, she returns as a doctor. With her comes an experimental protocol designed to achieve the impossible: restore Vlad Drăculea’s heartbeat and subject his immortal body to the laws of the living.
But the creature will not yield without a fight. Each phase of treatment awakens forgotten pain and a hunger that threatens to turn against her. Isolated in the castle, Ángela and Vlad must confront what is growing between them as science unravels the curse.
Because giving a monster a heartbeat is one thing.
Trusting him with yours is another.

About the Novel
The Petrescu Protocol blends Gothic horror, dark romance, and body horror in a story where immortality becomes a problem science might solve.
Between the ruins of a castle and an experimental laboratory, the novel explores the desire to live again, the price of vulnerability, and the boundaries between caring for someone and trying to save them.
At its heart is Ángela: a Venezuelan survivor who turns her curiosity into knowledge and returns as a doctor to confront the being who changed her life.
For readers of adult paranormal romance, Gothic castles, women in science, and monsters whose humanity can prove as dangerous as their fangs.
Science, History, and Fiction
The novel reimagines Vlad Drăculea and vampire lore through a fantastical interpretation of blood, regeneration, and immortality.
Although it draws on terminology and concepts from hematology, genetics, and medicine, the Petrescu Protocol and its effects on vampirism are fictional. The story combines historical references with an imagined supernatural biography for Vlad.
Here, science ventures into the flesh of legend.
