The Fearless Vampire Killers are in exile. After the Oldeeside Blockade fails and the rots are let loose, Ottoton, the last safe haven of the Old Ruges, is all but destroyed. Though Lorens has ended the Heartataks’ reign of terror, the Cardinal has survived the Five’s assault on the ruins of the Palace, and with their allies gone astray, The Fearless Vampire Killers have nowhere to hide. In their hurried search for refuge, The Five will uncover that which they least expect: answers, and a place they once called home...
Meanwhile, in the east, the brilliant starburst explosions above the wall intensify, and Lucifer’s Shroud is weakening.
Beyond the wall, in the ruins of the old world, the Imperator waits patiently for the end of days… Grandomina’s time is almost up.
