During the carnage of World War One, James Asher joins forces with
the vampires of Europe to counter an even deadlier threat.
The vampires call them 'The Others'. Neither living nor dead, the
revenants are mindless and unstoppable - and in the carnage of the First
World War, governments already running short of men to throw into battle
might be very interested in soldiers who don't ask questions and are
hard to kill. Front-line volunteer nurse Lydia Asher is horrified to
learn that someone has found a way to control revenants, and is creating
them for this purpose.
Back in London, Lydia's husband, former spy James Asher, is even more
appalled to learn that revenants are beginning to show up in England, on
the loose. Since revenants devour vampires, the vampires of Europe -
most of whom are at the Front, feeding completely unnoticed on the
dying - join forces with the Ashers to find the source of the threat
before the world is overwhelmed.
