The war is over.  At long last, the war that has raged for centuries has been laid to rest, taking with it Lucian, Victor, and Amelia.  Seline and Michael have escaped from the country fleeing from the remnant of Vampires who seek to destroy them.  Marcus, the most ruthless and bloodthirsty elder of the Vampire covens, has been awakened.  Things look grim, as Marcus does not know what came to pass during his century long rest.  For all we know, the war could actually be far from over.  Legend tells of four heroes who will rise up to stop this threat.  4 will begin the journey, 2 will finish.  The first, called the Remnant, is the last of his kind, the last surviving member of a large species which he must rekindle.  The second, the Rogue, is hunted by his own kind for treachery, marked as an abomination in his species.  The third, the Deceiver, is the Judas of the group.  Cunning and false, his true purpose is hardly ever recognizable at first glance.  The fourth and final, the Stranger, is unlike all the others, but his power matches or tops most of them.  So it is written that these heroes will band together to stop the mindless slaughter that will inevitably ensue if Marcus rises.  This is where the story begins…
