4 parts Ongoing Long ago, during the waning days of medieval Europe, a war was waged in the shadows. Vampires, led by Dracula, ruled the night with dominion and terror. They were opposed by secret orders of hunters and sorcerers who sought to end the vampire reign. After centuries of bloodshed, Dracula was finally defeated, not slain, but sealed away in a deep slumber by powerful wards. What few knew, however, was that Dracula left behind a bloodline. Unlike his monstrous kin, this line was different, his children could walk in the daylight and live among humans, their powers dormant until awakened by blood, trauma, or age. Most of these descendants faded into history, unaware of their cursed inheritance.
Now, centuries later, the wards holding Dracula are weakening. Strange disappearances and whispers of creatures in the dark signal his slow return. Those sensitive to the supernatural feel the change first, though most of humanity remains blissfully ignorant. Among them is Victoria Constantine, a seemingly ordinary teen who has begun to experience strange dreams and heightened senses. She doesn't know it yet, but her blood carries the legacy of Dracula himself. If she embraces her powers, she could either save humanity from her father's return, or become the very monster hunters fear.
