Derek Hawthorne is now one of the most powerful men in the world and couldn't be more miserable. Having been promoted to the Committee - the secret council which supervises supernatural events - he longs for the day when he was an agent for the Red Room. Derek's ex-partner-turned-vampire, Christopher Hang, comes to him with reports of a conspiracy to start a war between humans and the undead. Investigating, Derek soon finds himself up against the most famous vampire of them all - and his own family. Can Derek defeat Dracula, King of the Vampires, and stop the Red Room from turning all supernaturals into foot soldiers? Or should he just let the two sides tear each other apart?
