The year is 1888, and Queen Victoria has a new consort - Prince Vald Tepes, known throughout Europe as Count Dracula. THe age of the vampire has arrived - an era of pomp and decadence, oppression and unrelenting bloodshed - as, one by one, the British elite freely abandon their humanity and actively seek the Dark Kiss of eternal youth. But as all London is hideously transformed, a ripper stalks the night streets of Whitechapel, preying on vampire girls who sell their bodies for blood and silver...an elusive murderer who threatens the power of the undead Prince - a renegade mortal who must be stopped before he can bring the unGodly's reign of terror to an end.
