In the grim world of Warhammer, the dead do not sleep easily . . .
'Following his trail, Genevieve hunted the huntsman. At this moment, there was no more dangerous beast in the forests than the she-vampire. Always, she had kept herself apart from the Truly Dead, those vampires who preyed on the living for pleasure. For the first time in nearly seven hundred years, Genevieve Dieudonne understood the righteousness of the red thirst.'
After her return from Drachenfels, Genevieve Dieudonne - the vampire femme fatale - embarks on an odyssey of perilous self-discovery in which she must face monsters and magicians, intrigue and evil. Her journey takes her from the labyrinthine depths of an old Altdorf theatre to an accursed mansion under a deadly gothic spell, and finally to the hunt of a savage unicorn mare through haunted forests.
