Synopsis
The Cross of Ardaich, bane of the undead, was thought to have been destroyed in the war between the Federation and its arch-enemy, the vampire Gabriel Stone. But its accidental rediscovery in the wilds of Romania could ultimately spell disaster for the whole world! Detective Joel Solomon and Vampire Federation agent Alexandra Bishop are lovers split by a terrible rift: Joel can't forgive that she made him a vampire. Yet when Gabriel Stone makes a deal with a bloodthirsty serial killer to retrieve the cross, the estranged couple and their rag-tag allies become the only hope in a race against pure evil. If the terrible powers of the cross fall into the hands of Stone's sinister masters the Ubervampyr, it isn't just ordinary vampires like Alex and Joel who will become an endangered species. Things could be about to turn very nasty for the human race!
