This book brings you into the gathering: vampires who have killed and are still trying to remain faithful to their humanity. These select few who speak talk about their psychological thought process, including why they have sinned, hoping that these moments expressing why they remorse will eventually remove it from their tormented immortal mental psyche. ...however, there is a darker plot revolving around the Vampire Monarchy. How it is involved with these remorseful souls is a real question-especially the involvement with the original House of Blood family. There is a lot to be said about this type of emotional side to a vampire. Most tales describe vampires as ferocious killers, sexual sinners, and disregarding all their formal humanity. This book will bring a whole re-evaluation to why some vampires still struggle.
