In October 1912, James and Lydia Asher travel to the new Republic of China with vampire hunter Solomon Karlebach. Reports suggest that the mindless revenants known as the Others are multiplying in caves west of Peking and spreading an infection dangerous to humans and vampires alike.

James is forced into another alliance with Don Simon Ysidro while navigating foreign diplomats, Chinese criminal organisations and threats left from his years as a spy. The ancient vampires called the Magistrates of Hell pursue their own objectives, and the investigators must decide which enemy is creating the revenants before the outbreak escapes the city.
