Embers fall like rain as the citadel burns, and the realm teeters on the edge of civil war.
The heirs to the holy throne wage a secret war in the shadows, calling upon dark mages, forbidden rites, and the Devos, a race of half blood vampires sworn to Aphelia, eldest of the royal heirs.
But her brother Droog has the full might of the holy legion at his back.
Outnumbered, the Devos are forced to draw upon the oldest powers of their vampiric bloodline. Yet the deeper they reach, the more they uncover a terrible truth long buried beneath their own history.
With the Devos pushed to the brink, Count Norroth leads them to intercept Droog’s final move: the destruction of a village of dark mages. There, Norroth discovers more than a battlefield. He finds a forgotten culture alive with power untouched since the age of the first men.
And beneath it all, an ancient omen stirs, one last whispered of when vampires ruled the realm.
That power may be the only thing strong enough to save them, or destroy what remains of the realm.
