Vampire. Werewolf. Witch. Elisabeth Báthory has gone by many names over the last 400 years. The mythology and infamy that evolved from several men's lust for power and fortune branded her as the most infamous serial killer of all time: one who murdered and bathed in the blood of hundreds of women in a quest for eternal youth. But who was she, really? This working deck and design is being created with writer Brenna N. Penrod as we pitch a series exploring the true history of the opulence, scandal, romance, and horror that all began with the quest for power in 16th century Hungary. 

based on the pilot script by Brenna N. Penrod
