Vlad's battle against Camille nearly ended in disaster, but thanks to some quick thinking and a clever transformation, Vlad lives on to fight another day. Yet the Justiciar's trackers are still on the party's tail, and Monster Island remains only a distant rumor. That's when Vlad suggests a daring plan: The party will cut through the heart of the empire and pass right under their enemies' noses. To do so, they'll need some help from their newest ally, a mysterious nun who may be more than meets the eye...
Welcome to the nightmare . . . There is a world you don't know about, inhabited by supernatural creatures of darkness—vampires, werewolves, and all manner of savage, impossible beasts that live for terror and slaughter and blood. They are all around us but you cannot see them, for knowledge of their presence—so close and so hungry—would surely drive any ordinary human insane. But for centuries a special breed of hunter has kept the monsters at bay, preventing them from breaking through the increasingly fragile barriers protecting our mortal realm. These guardians are called skinners. But beware . . . for there are very few of them left.
