The Gospel According to St. Matthew (1883)

Imagine the horror of witnessing one of your family members behead another member of your family, then frame you for the murder. Narrowly escaping a death-for-a-death punishment by your elders, you are banished from your home until you can prove your innocence. Not only do you have to seek refuge from your nemesis, you also seek justice…and revenge. This is what Dantalion, the newest member of the Gratista vampire family, is forced to do. Dantalion’s psychotic arch-rival, Sallos, is determined to get rid of him by any means possible, and will go to whatever lengths to see him dead, even if it means killing others along the way - including Alexandra, Dantalion’s newly found human beloved. Forbidden passions…jealousies…family betrayals…personal vendettas, and an all-out clan brawl ensue in an unforgettable event that no one in the Gratista vampire family will soon forget.
