"What would you do for the ones you love?" Having dramatically quit his job as a paranormal investigator following the brutal murder of one of Lancaster's well-loved residents, the beleaguered Sam Spallucci is again drawn back into the dark world of the supernatural. Exsanguinated bodies of local criminals are starting to pile up and the press are blaming the so-called Vigilante Vampire. To some he's a menace; to others he's a hero. All Sam knows is that a rogue Child of Cain is on the loose in his beloved city of Lancaster. To make matters worse, there is competition in the form of a smooth talking, younger paranormal investigator and disturbing dreams centred around a shadowy figure from the future who is set on bringing about the apocalyptic devastation that is the Divergence.
