Clan Novel: Tzimisce (Vampire: The Masquerade)

For hundreds of years Camarilla vampires have preserved the Masquerade -- an intricate dance of deception, misdirection and manipulation that conceals their nocturnal predations from mortal eyes.

Now the Sabbat are about to crash their party.

The Clan Novel series takes a sinister turn as the dread Tzimisce emerge from their macabre dungeons and laboratories to take a decidedly unhealthy interest in events.

Amid the rising nightmare, charismatic Sascha Vykos -- an Old World monster with a New World agenda -- brings both scourge and velvet glove to rally the fractious Sabbat forces. A great reckoning awaits the complacent Camarilla -- if only Vykos can preserve the volatile alliance and keep the Sabbat serpent from devouring its own tail.

This series is a monumental, 13-novel exploration of the forbidden world of the Kindred. What began in Clan Novel: Toreador continues here, and its ending will determine the fate of every human -- and inhuman -- being in the world.
