Some people have to struggle to stand apart. Some are just born weird. Toby knows what it means to be different. His father and grandmother are vampire royalty. His human mother murdered her entire family. Not really a vampire, but not really a mortal, Toby is all alone in the world. The only way he can become a Pure vampire is to find the Tepes Chalice then enlist the aid of a reluctant teenage necromancer to transform him. Sounds simple enough, right? Yeah. Sure. Here's the thing; Toby's ex-girlfriend hid the Chalice thirty years earlier. The necromancer, Karen, might be of more help, if the two of them could stop arguing long enough to find it. On top of his day to day struggle for survival, his mortal enemy has suddenly reemerged and a horde of wild vampires is rampaging through town. It's hard to imagine how things could get much worse. Enter the Watchers. An underground organization that's declared eternal war on any threat against humanity, the Watchers are the bane of vampire-existence. Homeless and without a territory of his own, Toby must root out the source of the vampire attacks before the Watchers target him and every other Disavowed vampire in the city.
