Vampires are experiencing a period of decline: after being defeated in battle many times and decimated by Lycanthropes, their deadly enemies, Vampires’ strenght is costantly diminishing.
The Council of The MASTERS, id est the High Vampires who lead the people, is aware that the situation is very difficult: as time goes by the Lycanthropes increase their power, while Vampires are loosing their trust in their chiefs, and Chaos and Anarchy are coming.
The Council decides that there’s a possibility to change their fate: Vampires should search for the Ashes of Dracula, the ancestor of the race and the most powerful Vampire of everytime, and raise him from the death so that he re-establish rules and leads the people of Vampires to the Victory (but also without resurrecting him, Ashes alone would have a huge symbolic power, giving confidence and cohesion to the people of Vampires). For Vampires, Dracula’s ashes are the equivalent of the Holy Grail for King Arthur’s knights.

The most loyal and skilled Vampires are so chosen to accomplish such an important task. Among the chosen there is NOT Katrina, a young Vampire whose lineage has felt into disgrace over centuries, and who lives almost insulated in a lonely and decrepit and by everyone forgotten castle.
As she was informed about the Mission, Katrina sees the unexpected chance to regain the lost prestige of her family (and the possibility to climb up again the caste of Vampires).
So she decides to embark herself in the quest. The series narrates her (mis)adventures while engaged on the quest.
