The novel tells the story of a young man who discovers a hidden society of vampires in the Balkans. The story explores themes of love, mystery, and the supernatural, and features elements of Gothic fiction that were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Although not as widely read as "Dracula", "The Lady of the Shroud" is considered an essential part of Stoker's body of work and continues to interest fans of Gothic and horror fiction.
The novel speaks about courage, mystery and freedom. And I recognize Blue Mounteniers as an alias for land in the Balkans where all this is happening. They have Vladika, mountains, wild see, brave and strong people in a dire need of weapons to fight their aggressors - and Rupert is more than happy to help. With his physic, bravery and sense of mystery, he is an equal part of society.
And then, one night, the lady in the shroud appears and Rupert can't think of anything else anymore.
