"The Red Death, a powerful vampire thousands of years old, has made a blood bargain with monstrous fire creatures from another dimension. With their aid and the support of the Order of Dreadful Night, he plots to rule the world as Master of the Undead. The only two people who can stop the Red Death are Dire McCann and Alicia Varney. To do this, they must find the one vampire who knows the key to the Red Death's identity. But time is running out ... and the Red Death will do anything to destroy them."--Back cover
