In a world where Vampires rule, humans are treated as animals to be kept and fed upon.

But when one Dunpeal (half human, half vampire), kept secluded from the world and ignorant of its politics, begins her Quest to find her estranged parents, her Quest shakes the very foundation of the monarchy.

Joined by a guard from a nearby town that protects her from the sunlight, they discover that ignorance is a danger in this world, but sometimes the pursuit of a truth is just as deadly.
