Synopsis

In a secret supernatural battle that's been raging for over a century, the stakes have just been raised – and they're not wooden anymore.

"My master is the second oldest vampire in the world," she said. "He's more powerful than you can imagine."
"Like how powerful?"
"Like a God. Like that powerful."
"I don't believe in God."
She smiled at him again, and this time Jamie saw the white fangs below her upper lip, and he shivered.
"You should," she said. "You really should."

When Jamie Carpenter's mother is kidnapped by strange creatures, he finds himself dragged into Department 19, the government's most secret agency.

Fortunately for Jamie, Department 19 can provide the tools he needs to find his mother, and to kill the vampires who want him dead. But unfortunately for everyone, something much older is stirring, something even Department 19 can't stand up against...
