When Master Darque molds a being of unstoppable energy, it takes the full force of the Valiant Universe to rise up and oppose it: X-O Manowar, Eternal Warrior, Bloodshot, and Shadowman! As the very Earth itself screams in pain, Darque's deadly pact promises their deaths. With the whole world in the balance, the stakes have never been higher!
A string of exsanguinated corpses leads Stronghold, Livewire, the Geomancer Geoff McHenry and Lieutenant Thomas Morgan to a vampire's nest beneath the streets of New York. Can the Eternal Warrior -- himself having faced Baron Darkuul in 1320 Transylvania -- arrive in time to save them?
