Beneath the city's surface, clashing vampire factions have carved Berlin into a chessboard of blood and influence. The balance of power needs to be disrupted, if the old order enforced by the Ivory Tower is to prevail.
Sent by her Camarilla masters, the vampire Alice must navigate the intricacies of the politics at play to destabilise the region and sow discord, ensuring no one faction claims dominion. She encounters the Thinblood vampire Lenz, who is scraping by on the fringes of the undead society, using Alchemy in place of Alice's superior Disciplines. Now, they must choose: cooperate or betray one another to survive the perilous nights ahead.
