For the first time in five hundred years, pandurs and vampires need to work together and defeat the new breed of vampires that threaten to upset the current order of things. Liana Cantacuzino travels to New Zealand to find the new breeds and their makers, but even with the help of her friends, Maximilien Hess, Dr. Jesse Carver and Radu Basarab, the task turns out to be close to impossible to accomplish. The enemy is vicious, always one step ahead, and has no respect for any kind of life, including its own. With a prize put on her head, unreliable informers, exploding arrows, and turned pandurs, Liana has to lead what's left of her troops through a terrible siege, while struggling to keep Jesse safe and fight for her own survival. The second novella in The Impaler Legacy series, a vampire saga like no other.
