This is the first novel in White Wolf's new World of Darkness, it is part of Vampire the Requiem RPG. I have to say that the Requiem is MUCH darker than the Masquerade, as well as gives a more hopeless feel. It's kind of depressing really, but it is closer to the sense of horror that the old game rarely reached.
The book actually switches POV every couple chapters though most of the story is about 2 of the vampires, both fairly new and were created against the standing laws. Persephone was sired by the Prince of Chicago, and Bruce by an unknown Nosferatu. Both have plenty of strikes against them and people trying to pull them down, or turn them into useful pawns. Politics are a game, THE game and no one is allowed to sit out, so try not show more to be the pawn. show less

I read this all but ten pages like... 4-5 years ago, but I never finished it. I guess I got distracted? Anyway, it was good. I'm going to look around for the other books in the series. The next one is by another author... It wasn't amazing, but it was interesting.
