The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

***Note one of thirteen Vampire: The Masquerade novels by Gherbod Fleming

"If you're following the series and especially playing the game VAMPIRE: THE MASQUERADE make no mistake: what happens in this books turns out to be VERY IMPORTANT for the Gangrel later on. The strengths of the more character driven books in the series are that these books stand alone better (you don't have to know or care what's happening in the series generally in order to appreciate the story) Here, the main character, Ramona, is a Gangrel neonate who has been abandoned by her sire to fend for herself and learn the realities of vampiric existence in the process. It tells the story of her struggle with her lost humanity and just to survive.

This books also deals with Ramona's first encounter with her sire since her Embrace and her first encounter with other members of her clan. The justicar Xaviar even puts in an apprearance as do many other interesting Gangrel characters. Overall, it's a somber but fascinating portrait of the Gangrel and their culture. The Gangrel aren't lay about philosphers, so there's plenty of action as well." - Amazon Review
