“Kill the stoker and the shifter and the priest!” The vampire who turned Jonathan Stoker did so as a joke: what fun to turn a man named ‘Stoker’! But life is no joke for Jonathan. He’s fled his family, every vampire he meets attacks him, and he’s consumed by blood urges. Ten years after his mortal life ended, the blind and striking Ariel Lockhart delivers Jonathan’s invitation to the Vampire Congregation in Boston. It isn’t a request; Ariel’s summoning spell warps time and space to ensure every vampire attends. Of all the many horrors Jonathan discovers at this murderous congregation, worst of all is to find his mortal son, Jake, has come searching for him. And Jake’s just fallen in love... with a 350-year-old vampire! “Kill the stoker and the shifter and the priest!”
