It has been a hard-fought struggle, for her sire is none other than Moncada, one of the architects of the Sabbat offensive in North America.

Now the Sabbat are about to crash their party. The Clan Novel series takes a sinister turn as the dread Tzimsce emerge from their macabre dungeons and laboratories to take a decidedly unhealthy interest in events."--Fantastic fiction
