The Cozia Manuscript
a novel by L. J. Oltean

On an island in the south of Romania under an unmarked stone in the centre aisle of an ancient monastery, lie the remains of Vlad Dracula. Or if they are not actually there now, perhaps they once were and it makes a good story.
But then, there are many stories about Dracula. The young monk guiding the small group of American tourists is earnest in his defense of the fifteenth century prince who was Romania’s great hero and defender. Other historians stress the incredible cruelty, even by medieval standards. Does Dracul stand for dragon, or for devil?

A retired American pastor and a Romanian expat businessman who’s long since got used to life in the West have both made pilgrimages to the Orthodox church on Lake Snagov. One is interested in solving the biblical question of where the anti-Christ will rise. The other finds that his own history is entangled with politics both current and centuries-deep.

While this is a work of fiction, the Romanian dualist bible and Moses Gaster’s collection of popular myths and prophecies are entirely authentic and here they are for the first time brought to the attention of Western readers.
