Bloodwar

For ten thousand years a race of immortal vampires has waged a secret war to control mankind. Beings of incredible supernatural potency, they are driven by a lust for power...and human blood.

They are the Kindred.

Though mortal, the enigmatic detective Dire McCannan knows a great deal about these undead. So does Alicia Varney, one of the world's wealthiest women. They are two wild cards in a global game of chess that has lasted for over one hundred centuries.

But now a new player has entered the fray. Known only as the Red Death, he controls forces that make even the Kindred tremble. Who is this mysterious avatar of blood? And is his appearance the first-sign that Gehenna, the dread apocolypse for both humans and vampires, is about to begin?
