Yet their adventures have only just begun as they encounter a new kind of adversary: a goldthirsty vampire hunter who wants to wipe out all their kind. A literary treat for all history and fantasy lovers, the book includes maps tracing our heroes' route over land through the wilds of the Eurasian continent.
