Magia, manipulación, asesinato. Con un pie plantado firmemente en lo mítico y el otro enraizado en las implacables calles de la ciudad de Nueva York, Aistling Sturbridge, Regente de la Capilla de los Cinco Distritos, hace las veces de lider, maestra y guardiana de los novicios encomendados a su cuidado.Pero por si contener en primera linea las embestidas del Sabbat no fuera suficiente desafio, Sturbridge debe desenmarañar un asesinato cometido en el corazon mismo de su capilla, frustrar las manipulaciones de sus rivales Tremere y sobrevivir a la creciente (y mal recibida) atencion por parte de la casa madre de Viena.Todos estos esfuerzos, sin embargo, pueden resultar vanos si Sturbridge no logra encontrar una respuesta a sus propios y silenciosos acusadores: los rostros de los Niños del Pozo.

In the AftermathThe Camarilla lost much ground along the East Coast in its recent war with the Sabbat. But the sect claimed one of the greatest prizes in the world control of New York City.

Among the halls of the Chantry of the Five Boroughs, Antigone is usually called Novicia in accordance with her rank in the steel-jawed hierarchy that she has come to know as the Tremere Pyramid. Sometimes, in scornful whispers, they call her Jackal, because that is her job: Pyramid security. Like Anubis, the laughing, jackal-headed, warden of the dead, Antigone keeps careful guard over the house of the undying. She cannot, however, anticipate that her job is about to become rather more complicated.
