Renee, her sister Lou, and their team of photojournalists from Itinera are excited about their three-week assignment to delve into Romanian history and capture its beauty on film.

A tip about a yet undocumented castle promises to be a tantalizing addition to their project, but instead leads them to the forefront of a collision between the modern and ancient worlds. Now they must face powerful magic, a twisted love that survived death, and evil so strong that it persisted through time to renew itself again and again until it found the perfect host...

Murder, bloodlust, and supernatural power beyond imagining leads them on a journey to the wildest, remotest regions of Romania, to a people locked in time, where Renee and her team find themselves in the midst of an ancient struggle and in a desperate race to save one of their own.
