When down and out Alistair Jude took shelter in an abandoned warehouse he expected a long cold night. What he didn't expect to find was the personal effects of somebody who had disappeared months before. What was stranger was the journal that explained what had happened to that person and the events leading up to their disappearance.
Alistair had seen the newspapers which described how the person had been attacked and mutilated, set on fire and left to die. The journal gave the chilling truth and their implications on family and friends.
He wasn't left to die, he did die. 
Alistair had sought safety and shelter. Instead he had stepped unwittingly in to the end stage of a battle with the Blood Line.
