The Master’s plan to seize power worked. It used atomic weapons to cause a nuclear winter with an almost perennial night. In two years it took control of most of the world creating a society in which humans survivors are divided between his servants and the “cattle”, used to provide blood and for breeding.
The group formed by the epidemiologist Ephraim Goodweather, his colleague Nora Martinez and exterminator Vasiliy Fet keep on trying to form a resistance against the Master. They’re helped by the mysterious Quinlan, who served the other ancient vampires and now keeps on looking for the Master’s weakness in a fight that seems hopeless.
