Synopses

Birth of a Killer

When terrible events force young Larten Crepsley to flee his home, he finds himself alone in the world. A meeting with the mysterious Seba Nile introduces him to the ways of the vampire clan, and to a life from which there may be no return.

Ocean of Blood

Free from their mentor Seba Nile, Larten Crepsley and Wester Flack join the Cubs, wild young vampires with little respect for human life. Far from the Vampire Mountain and its rules, Larten must decide whether to stay true to his master and principles, or lose himself in blood.

Palace of the Damned

Lost in the arctic waste and carrying a baby, Larten faces the darkest time he has ever known. As hope appears in unexpected ways, he confronts the violence of his youth and the damage it can cause to those he loves, while questioning whether he can save his own soul.

Brother to the Death

As Larten finds a new place in vampire society and tries to help vampires escape the Nazi menace, tragedy strikes his family through the nefarious Vampaneze. With Wester calling for war, Larten becomes a figurehead of the campaign, but darker forces stir and a final betrayal looms.
