Deep in the heart of the Carpathian Mountains, there has existed for generations beyond count a race of beings that are of the earth. More closely related to their animal brethren than to humans, this race, calling themselves Carpathian, have sensory and psychic abilities of incredible strength, as well as many other supernatural powers. But in return, they are unable to tolerate sunlight or solid food. They feed on human blood, and live in quiet seclusion…most of the time. After the first hundred or so years of life, males lose their ability to see colour and feel emotion, a capability they regain only after they find their life mate – their one and only true love. However, Carpathian females are extremely rare, and desperation drives many males to commit the ultimate atrocity - to kill while feeding, and in so doing, to turn vampire.
To protect the remainder of their race and the human world also, a number of Carpathian males become Hunters, devoting their lives to tracking down and destroying vampires. They are the strongest, the most powerful, the most charismatic, the sexiest – and they need life mates…
