Down through the deathless centuries, the vampires had drunk
human blood for sustenance and for sport. They preyed where
they willed, for no mortal humans could resist their unclean
powers. But now came the ultimate perversion, the
unthinkable: someone was conscripting the vampires into the
secret services of a foreign power.
No government
agency or bureaucrat could control the Undead. The idea was
absurd, as Dr. James Asher knew all too well.
Years
in His Majesty's service had taught Asher the finer points
of espionage. And he knew the secrets of the vampires--a
familiarity hard-won in unwilling service to Don Simon
Ysidro, oldest and most subtle of the hunters of the London
night. What Asher didn't know was why one of England's
established vampires would risk everything to travel across
the European continent at the behest of a ruthless
spymaster.
But he could see the terrifying potential
of such an unholy alliance...
