For hundreds of years, vampires – the Kindred – have hidden themselves from human sight, manipulating us in every possible way to further their own interest.

When this Masquerade is threatened by a police detective – Alethea Nightengale – her world is torn apart to keep the secret. Fleeing for her life from the monsters who now hunt her, she must learn to survive among the Kindred, lest the World of Darkness destroy her completely.
