Ten years ago, Ezekiel escaped one evil, only to watch helplessly as an even more ancient evil in the form of a vampire ripped his wife from his grasp. Ezekiel's hunt began in the ashes of his former life. Now, the Civil War burns through the American South, and Ezekiel cuts his own swath of destruction, battling man and monster alike. Two unlikely allies join him in his quest: Will, a member of the Union's Ambulance Corp, and Kate, a young Confederate sympathizer. The jaded, world-weary hunter doesn't know if his wife is alive or dead, just that revenge is a dish best served bloody red.
