From the impact, the ground begins to shift and open. As I start to fall
into an underground cavern, my fingers dig at the loose soil. Grabbing the root
of the tree, I stop with him clutching my ankle. The growls beneath us tell me
this cave is not empty. I look down at the den werewolves we have awaken and
the scared nomad clinging to me. With a smile, I kick him off and watch him
fall to the wolves. They pounce quickly, devouring him as I climb out and save
myself.
These are the journal entries of a centuries old vampire, Nicolas Rider. Welcome to his world...

April 3, 1618 – Cairo
I
grab the nomad by the hair and drive his face into a rock. Blood trickles from
his nose as he pulls himself out of my grasp, ripping his hair off in my hand.
He flips up into a tree and I leap after him. Swinging from the branches, I
wrap my legs around his waist and slam his body into the trunk hard enough to
hear his ribs snap. He claws at my arms, scratching deep gouges into my skin.
Crying out, I let him drop to the ground. As he starts to run, I jump at him.
With my fist, I pound him into dirt.
