The end of the world as humans know it, anyway, is not coming along quite like expected. No atomic bombs, no zombies. Rather, the creatures of the night have emerged from the shadows after deciding humans should no longer be the dominant species. The start of this nightmare is seen through the eyes of a truly unusual creature. A freak, one might say, something that shouldn't exist. Yet, here she is. Sambuca isn't human.The "Red Viper" never expected to find it out through her prey, of course--as a vampire hunter, she figured her unusual method of killing with snake venom would stop every leech in their tracks and knock 'em dead. That is until she runs into a vampire that's immune to the venom just like she is. And he wants to work with her.Goliath, "the bat in the tophat", is an anomaly. He was meant to be some dark vampire prince, the typical killer with no mercy. This changes when he witnesses Sambuca sparing an orphaned vampire child. Initially sent to destroy the last dragon, or, well, half-dragon in Sam's case, his plans shift, and he joins her mission to actually help the city against his evil brother and a traitorous ex-vampire-hunter. Of course, those two are just the beginning of an escalating war.Goliath & Sam team up eventually with a shapeshifter known as Darcia Deville. She helps the pair through one problem after another since they saved her life when the city was under siege. The world is going haywire, magic long forgotten by humans is emerging, and many manners of monsters are joining the fray. The vampires, of course, won't be put down easily. In fact, they probably won't be put down at all...
