Neferata is a queen without a kingdom. Lahmia has fallen, her vampire children have scattered and she is reduced to draining blood from the beasts of the mountains. After a chance encounter with a party of dwarfs, she sets her sights on a capital for her new empire - the stronghold of Silver Pinnacle. Neferata calls her allies to battle - but can she truly trust Ushoran, Lord of Masks, and his bestial Strigoi vampires?
