In the middle of the 21st century, the world plunged into Midnight - a period of wars and disasters. And when humanity was on the verge of destruction, they appeared. Tall gentlemen. Vampires. A new stage of evolution? Highest link in the food chain? Symbionts? Parasites? Carriers of a long-known but unexplored disease? Or the possessed who made a deal with the devil? They established order, saved the human race from chaos, pandemics and mutual destruction. They hold a fragile balance on their shoulders. Is it worth the price humanity pays them? A handful of lives a year, a small part of the whole. Many people are satisfied with this price. But there are also those who dared to rebel against the world of Midnight.
