The Master Vampire of London kidnaps James and Lydia Asher’s infant daughter, forcing the couple into a search where ordinary police assistance is impossible. The abduction is intended to control the Ashers and exploit Lydia’s scientific knowledge.

Don Simon Ysidro joins them despite his hostility towards London’s vampire hierarchy. Recovering the child requires the Ashers to enter the private households and underground refuges of the undead, where family loyalty, medical experiment and the politics of vampire succession make every bargain temporary.
