Von der hinteren Coverseite

‘Men will die tonight, whatever you tell us. Their throats will be ripped open and their bodies drained of blood. I may abstain, but I can’t stop the others – not all of them. It will ease your conscience to know that those who died were our enemies . . .’

Russia, 1917. Zmyeevich, king of all vampires, has been dead for twenty years.

Free of the evil that plagued his family, Tsar Nicholas II faces a new threat. War has brought Russia to her knees. The people are hungry for revolution.

Mihail Konstantinovich Danilov welcomes the prospect of change. Like his ancestors, he fought to save the Romanovs from Zmyeevich and his kind - fought and won - but he sees no future for Russia under a tyrannical tsar. He is not alone. His uncle, Dmitry Alekseevich, was born in a different era. He is a vampire, yet he still harbours one very human desire: that his country should be free.

But the curse that infects the blood of the Romanovs cannot be easily forgotten, and Mihail discovers that a terror once thought eradicated might soon rise again . . .
