Alistair and his fellow hunters pursue Angela to his old home town at the heart of Wallachia, only to be ensnared by the schemes of Abendroth, the region's local Vampire lord and tyrant.
With Alistair haunted by a tragedy from his past, Jacques will stop at nothing to reclaim what is his, while Angela must use Abendroth to get what she needs...before he uses her first.
