The Count is evil, of course, and in charge of his two young nieces. They live in a Swiss castle surrounded by forests and snowy mountains and inhabited by Zamiel the Demon Huntsman, which is the perfect situation for the Count to rid himself of the girls.

Written in almost a folklore style, this story has a bit of the supernatural, a little tension, and some humor.

A lighthearted foray by the famous author of the Dark Materials fantasy series. It has fairy tale elements to the story of the evil Count who holds his two wards captive.
