The year is eleven seventy-seven, and there's a feral vampire on the loose killing humans in the Carpathian Mountains. The deranged, evil vampire is Sir Robert of Aragon. For fifteen years he kills without remorse until the day he stumbles upon a time portal in a cave, and winds up in the year twenty seventy-seven.
