And so it began….

 

Over five thousand years ago in a blood soaked Sumerian temple a malignant creature was set loose upon the Earth. The plague of akhkharu was unleashed--an eternal curse to humanity. But with immortality came a warning in the form of prophecy. To thwart the prediction, the vampires lay numberless and quiet for centuries. Now after sitting idle for a millennium they start to stir as the prophecy begins to unfold.

 

The key to that prophecy is Devin Merchon. As she fights against her destiny, she finds two allies in Alex Stone and Tom Ells. Together they face an ancient enemy thought only to be legend. Unwittingly they discovered the legend is fact and that this is only the beginning. A far more dangerous creature has been awakened. He is the One…the First, an unholy incarnation and the very source of the plague itself.  His bloodlust is insatiable and if he obtains Devin it will start in motion an ancient ambition to wipe out civilization and enslave the human race.
