Arkeley leads Caxton to a tomb in Gettysburg lately excavated by way of a neighborhood archaeology professor. whereas the city, with its mythical function within the Civil War’s worst conflict, isn't any stranger to cemeteries, this one is remarkably, eerily diversified. In it lie a hundred coffins—99 of them occupied via vampires, who, fortunately, are lacking their hearts. yet one of many coffins is empty and smashed to items.

Who is the lacking vampire? Does he have entry to the ninety nine hearts that, if put again within the our bodies in their proprietors, may well reanimate a whole bloodthirsty military? How did the vampires prove there, undisturbed and undiscovered for a hundred and fifty years? the reply lies in Civil conflict files that comprise sinister secrets and techniques concerning the newly came upon coffins—secrets that Laura Caxton is set to discover as she is thrown right into a lethal, grotesque project of saving a whole city from a mass invasion of the undead. . . .

Sample text

Either way I believe he will die in this desert tonight. I may even drink his blood, although I have not fed from anyone since Kalika brought me back from the edge of death.
