Description

“It is the year 1799 and Ireland bleeds. In the aftermath of the failed rebel-
lion, the British empire ignores the vampires that stalk the fading towns and
cities, a fitting punishment for the disloyal. There are those who refuse to
be cowed, hunters of vampires and other night creatures.

A revenant hunter, May witch, divine werewolf, and reluctant vampire hot
off their most recent hunt, make their way to the oldest hidden reaches of
Donadea Forest in Kildare to commune with the Aos Sí. What they find is a
defaced fairy fort, burnt hawthorn trees and canvases and paint scattered
upon the forest floor.

As moonlight spills through the forest canopy, the werewolf sees visions
in the lights and shadows; an artist unsatisfied with their work, a collector
looking for new materials, a thirst that blood alone cannot quench, and
with that, she catches a scent leading the hunters to the outskirts of a
formerly abandoned manor seemingly hosting a lavish party. Whoever or
whatever desecrated the forest and took the fairies is about to get some
gatecrashers.”
