Thieves in the Night
Stolen blood, stolen coin and stolen lives, the childer of Caine know all three. Beyond the courts of princes and voivodes, vampires earn their bloody way in the city streets and bandit warrens. They stake out their own informal principalities among the growing cities and lawless woods. Murder, larceny and trickery are their tools often used against the very elders who consider them beneath notice.
Flames of Revolt
