For nearly two decades, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro has recorded the undying existence of the Count Saint-Germain, a centuries-spanning feat of the imagination that rivals The Vampire Chronicles of Anne Rice. Now, with Europe on the verge of the First World War, Saint-Germain accepts a top-secret assignment from Czar Nicholas of Russia. Saint-Germain is to deliver one last proposal for peace to the crowned heads of Europe. But powerful men plot against him -- and may use his love for a talented young artist against him.

"Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's 'Saint-Germain' novels are probably the best series of vampire novels ever written". -- The Hartford Courant
