England, 1940… London is under a hail of bombs, but while the civilian population is being decimated by the Third Reich’s attack from the air, another war is being fought out in the corridors of power. Among the high-ranking figures, not all of them are enemies of Germany. Lord De Vere and other conspirators, in agreement with some exponents of MI6, Her Majesty’s Secret Service, are urging that a separate peace be signed. Fortunately, Prime Minister Churchill has organized an alternative espionage network, headed by Major Foster, and this network can also count on the presence of Godwin Brumowski, the former Polish aviator in the Great War, who subsequently became a vampire in the service of Draka. Sixty years on, the unfolding events in the De Vere family get intertwined with those of the “Lupi Azzurri” sect, which means the clash with Harlan, Tesla and Kurjak will be inevitable…
