For centuries the undead fared poorly in their war against the werewolves, outmatched in power, intelligence and killer instinct. An ill wind blowing in the walled town of Niederstadt threatens to tip the scales in favour of the undead as a new Necropolis threatens both werewolves and the sparse human survivors inside the town and even the world outside... The Dusk Mistress continues the story of the cursed Winter family, following on from Traveler's Respite.
