The immortal knight, Richard of Ashbury, battles the Ottoman Turks with the monstrous Vlad the Impaler.
AD 1444, Bulgaria. The Christian kingdoms come together for the last crusade against the conquering Ottoman Turks.
But William de Ferrers has returned.
And he has built an army of vampires to fight for the enemies of Christendom.
To resist their onslaught, Richard must find whatever allies he can. Yet nothing is simple in the 15th century Balkan kingdoms and alliances are hard won and easily thrown aside.
Soon, one young prince of Wallachia known as Vlad Dracula stands alone against the invaders.
But can Dracula be trusted to resist William and the Turks? Whose side is he truly on?
And how deep does his evil go?
To save Christendom and defeat William's immortal army, Richard must pursue him through battles, sieges, and ambushes in Serbia, Transylvania, Wallachia, Bulgaria, Moldavia, Hungary...
And Constantinople.
Just in time for its fall.
