Heirs of the Night

Lars, the heir to the Dracas vampire clan, overhears the Noaidi predict the future of all vampires; Lars' father sends out a message to the five remaining clans to join forces.

All the other vampire clans decide to set sail with the Elisabetha for Hamburg, to pick up the one clan that hasn't responded; Alisa is hiding on a roof where she meets a human boy.

The heirs are placed into the care of the Nosferas Clan as their Elders say goodbye; their Shadow vampires are left with them, to take care of them; Joanne is also allowed to keep Easy the rat and other pets on the ship.

Dracula turns the Inn-keeper into his Shadow vampire, a vampire that must obey his master; Dracula now wants Tonka to steal his rubies back, but also to spy on Alisa.

Nicu and his mom also arrive in Italy; Nicu still hasn't forgiven Calvina for lying to him about the Redmasks; Dracula recovers another Ruby.

Alisa and Nicu are locked in a cell at the police station; Both Nicu and Alisa try to figure out what was going on, but Alisa could never tell Nicu the truth.
