This is the adventures of Anita Blake. The adventures of a desperate hunter of the “people of Darkness” - vampires, werewolves, zombies and black magicians. Hunters of “night hunters” who have broken the law. Hunters of murderers - not dead or immortal... But - neither vampires nor werewolves - nor, in general, any of the inhabitants of the Darkness known to Anita - are guilty of the monstrous cruelty of the murders shaking the city. What kind of new force - ruthless, knowing no limit - is flooding the night streets with children's blood? And is it a new force? Perhaps, on the contrary, it is too ancient, too powerful even for the frantic, almost suicidal courage of Anita Blake?..
