The plot is set during the Balkan war in the early nineties. Haunted by horrible nightmares, Harlan Draka wanders the countryside, shamelessly making money pretending to be a Dampyr (half-human and half-vampire) ridding villages of what the villagers naively believe to be evil monsters. But, when he is summoned by soldiers who are under attack by real vampires, Harlan finds out the truth: he is a Dampyr. While trying to destroy a terrible Master of the Night, he will have to learn to manage his powers and find out more about his origins. 　　译文(2): 故事情节设定在九十年代初的巴尔干战争期间。Harlan Draka 被可怕的噩梦困扰着，他在乡下游荡，无耻地假扮成 Dampyr (半人半吸血鬼)来赚钱，驱逐村民们天真地认为是邪恶的怪物。但是，当他被被真正的吸血鬼袭击的士兵召唤时，哈伦发现了真相: 他是一个丹皮尔。在试图摧毁一个可怕的主夜，他将不得不学习管理他的权力，并找出更多关于他的起源。
