Invited to a sensational party by Prime Minister Sterescu, Radu and Frank are introduced to his daughter, Ecaterina - the foremost enchantress in the country - and his teenage son Stefan, who hates parties and loves horses.
Frank is discovered to have a rare magical talent, but Radu, it turns out, has an unusual gift too.
Bucharest is welcoming. The society is splendid. They have fascinating things with which to occupy themselves, and many new friends. And then Stefan falls mysteriously ill...

In this chapter, Frank finally remembers the great crime for which he was turned out of his house and exiled from his country. It isn't what he expected.
The Vacarescu household, including Mirela, set out on that trip to Bucharest that Radu has been denying his vampire parents all his life.
And elsewhere, in the Atlantic, a British ship receives the Turkish declaration of war, in a manner that makes it impossible to refuse.

Remembering that his friends were killed in the attempt to see the Vril Accumulator on Radu's lands, Frank asks to make a pilgrimage there in Protheroe's name. But no one walks into a torrent of magic power and comes away unchanged...

Chapter One of Sons of Devils, a historical fantasy novel by Alex R Oliver, set in 18th Century Wallachia and in Istanbul. Written by someone who loved Dracula but wished it had leaned further into the Ottoman Empire connection, and also added some wizards.
In chapter one, we meet Frank, our unlikely hero. A British linguist with a murky past, he is on an expedition with his university friends to study the vril accumulator - a kind of Atlantean magic generator - in Valcea in Wallachia.
Why is his father's valet trying to kill him? And who is the mysterious Vacarescu of whom the country folk seem so afraid?
