The half-breed known only as Nosferatu has existed since ancient Egyptian times as part of a group of bioengineered beings that served the old gods. But those gods are no more -- eradicated by human efforts -- so now Nosferatu schemes to thrust himself into the resulting power vacuum. In order to achieve this, he requires a piece of leftover alien technology known as the Holy Grail. With it, he can grasp true immortality, be freed of his need for human blood, and reunite with the lover the gods took from him so many years ago. Yet his kin still stalk the earth as well -- powerful creatures who have been both his allies and his enemies throughout history. And one of their numbers, Vampyr, has set his own deadly plans in motion concerning the Grail. As the two unstoppable forces converge on their singular goal, the inevitable clash of strength and cunning could usher in a new Age of the Undead...or extinguish all life on Earth.… (més)
Compared to the rest of the series, this book was lackluster at best. None of the previous characters made an appearance.
75% of the book was focused on what happened in the past, and none of it had much to do with the main storyline of the series. All of the action took place in the last 5% of the book.
In all honesty, the few important bits of this book could have been weaved into the previous 3 books and nothing would have been lost. If you're reading the series, skip it, as it doesn't really add anything at all to the overall story. ( )

Nosferatu pulled back his hood, revealing his dark eyes and pale skin, and watched her slender form racing away, then he set off in pursuit.
