Obsessed with acquiring the Holy Grail for the Lasombra clan, the vampire Montrovant sets out on a quest that pits him against the Knights Templar, and sends him through the lair of an ancient Egyptian evil and the deserts of the Holy Land. Dark forces plot against him. Allies cannot be trusted. And deceit leads to treachery and back again in a race against time, the Church and the vampire Kli Kodesh, who is even more ancient than Montrovant's sire Claudius.

Only persistence, luck and the strength of his own will can see Montrovant through to his goal. Any mistake could mean his destruction.
