For the past 5,000 years the Centauri Galactic Imperium has ruled the Galaxy...During the last one thousand years of its 5,000 year existence the Empire has been at war with the Republic Alliance. That war ends in one final battle with the Empire standing victorious. All should be well, but not for Count Franklin H. Stein. His son Alex Stein has fallen ill with Blood Roct's Disease – An incurable disease that causes the heart to pump infected blood that kills the internal organs. Franklin is a Scientist, Doctor, Chemist, Engineer, Bio-Engineer, Architect, weapons designer, and high ranking member of the Illuminari. He vows to cure his son no matter what the cost and he breaks every vow he ever made to cure his son. In his desperation to cure his son Count Stein turns to Gene-Splicing. He manages to cure his son, but Alex does not feel human anymore... From the ashes of Count Franklin H. Stein's experiments arises the mysterious and allusive Count Alexander Dracos. As the first of his kind Alexander brings chaos, murder, and intrigue to the citizens of the Empire. Count Dracos rises to power in order to build a new civilization for himself, the woman he obsesses over, and his people the Nocturn (Vampires). Who will survive Count Dracos' rise to power and who will become food? Will humanity survive in Galaxy filled with Monsters?
