Darren returns to his former home where he grew up, only to realize how much the world around him has changed while he was busy saving the future of the vampire clan.
He is reunited with his sister, who had a son during his absence – a nephew who turns out to have a connection to the rival clan, making it impossible for Darren to simply defeat the Vampaneze lord without consequences.
As the War of the Scars rages on, every character who has appeared in the saga so far turns out to play an essential role in the coming battle for survival.
