In the small village of Ecsed, on the Hungarian/Romanian border, an ancient evil has awakened. Young girls begin disappearing in the middle of the night, and those who venture after them never return. The authorities believe it to be the work of a serial killer, but the local priest, Father Dalton, knows it is something far worse. Soon the Pope summons the Knights Templar, an ancient order sworn to protect the Church thought to have been eradicated seven hundred years ago. They send one of their best Knights, Thomas Bronte, to investigate what is happening in Ecsed. Soon Thomas is faced with an evil too terrifying to imagine; the Blood Countess, one of the deadliest vampires in history, has returned to seek revenge on the descendants of the people who sentenced her to death.
