Lucas Hennigan is an arrogant and cruel bloodsucker, unrestricted by the boundaries of morale. His whole life, both as a human and as a vampire, he has done whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted. His attitude has finally caught up with him: Lucas was chased out from his home by a coalition of supernatural forces. Now, in a foreign city right at the middle of the country, Lucas and his loyal bunch of halflings must gather power and influence to ensure their survival. Would his brilliance, ruthlessness and martial prowess be enough? Or would he perish, destroyed by someone with superior strength? After all, in this world so similar and at the same time so different from ours, there are a lot of monsters, likes of which the young predator of the night has yet to encounter.
