The apocalypse has finally come. People are dying of disease, but they are coming back. They don't return as your normal loving family members they were though, they return as bloodsucking monsters known as vampires. Some of these creatures have lived for hundreds of years causing the"disease" wherever they roamed through out history, like the black plague it wasn't a plague in general, it was a vampiric plague. Every death was a saving grace, every cross in the ground a heavenly sight. The elders as we call them, the eldest of the vampires created ranks in the systems, themselves, ambassadors, dukesins , crises, humans, and mongrels. The Mongrels are the wild vamps, they're only below humans because we are considered the slightest of valuable. We are the blood bags of the apocalypse, like prized cattle awaiting slaughter. It's time for humanity to make a stand, join me as I journey across long forgotten lands on a journey to end the vamps, and reclaim what is rightfully ours the blood right of our ancestors, freedom. In the end immortal blood will spill into the long forgotten streets.
Ari and Soren's adventures continue as Soren struggles with his new vampiric urges and a coven of witches attempts to recruit Ari for their own ends.
