When a vital member of the British millennials' mission
goes missing after an intense firefight with Nazi-supported
vampire hunters, Mors, the mission's powerful leader, vows
to discover the truth behind his disappearance. The
perilous search takes Mors from Berlin to his own ancient
stomping grounds - Rome.
Mors was once one of the Roman Republic's greatest
generals - until his rebirth as a vampire under
unprecedented circumstances - and when he sees Italy under
Fascism, he forms a new mission: to return the country to a
true republic, and perhaps guide its people into the light
himself.
But it will take collaboration with human partisans to
achieve his new dream, a dangerous alliance that most
vampires would never attempt, made even more unstable by
his growing love for the partisans' beautiful and brave
organizer, Giulia. As the Allies prepare to invade Italy,
and hunters and Nazi-collaborators start to encircle him,
Mors's quest for vengeance, intense passion, and hunger for
power force him to confront the demons of both his past and
present. A very different war is about to begin...
