They are the strongest of their race, and highly skilled at the combat in which they engage almost nightly with the lessers.

In the Caldwell, New York underground, a war is raging between vampires and the Lessening Society, undead humans who have sold their souls to become lessers and whose singular purpose is to see the entire vampire race destroyed.
