Synopsis

Sebastian Newcastle is a vampire who has spent his long life hunting others of his kind. Now he is the one being hunted. Reginald Callender, his sworn enemy, has vowed to destroy him once and for all and follows him across the globe.

Their quarrel is older than either man. It comes down from two families of vampire hunters, and it has run for centuries. The pursuit finally draws both men to British India in the 19th century, where the Raj is hot and the feud reaches its climax.

As they close in on each other, old secrets and a bitter history of betrayal begin to threaten them both. The line between hunter and hunted is never clear.

Gothic vampire thriller, with Victorian atmosphere and a darker supernatural undercurrent. The book was later expanded into a two-volume duology, The Blood of the Lamb. Whether either man survives the Raj, and what their shared past costs, is the question that drives it.
