SAINTS (n.) Highly virtuous people, dedicated to holy pursuits. Like Father Mulkerrin, a man devoted to the total elimination of a hidden race of beings... SHADOWS (n.) Creatures of the night, who defy the mortal laws of life and death. Like Peter Octavian, a vampire on an epic crusade to save his people from mass destruction... The war between the humans and vampires has begun—a worldwide battle that will separate the true saints from the sinners. Of Saints and Shadows is a brilliantly original saga that takes you into the secret world of vampires—and a secret society sworn to destroy them. Sweeping, sensuous and shocking, it is a powerfull vision of immortality that will hold you in its spell...forever.
