The power of an immortal. The soul of a human. The heart of a hero.Sworn to defend humanity, although not entirely human . . . Born with the cunning and superhuman power of a vampire, but able to stalk by day as well as night . . . Half man, half vampire and consumed by a desire to avenge the curse of his birth, a hero stalks the undead--the immortal vampire hunter Blade.Awakened to consciousness--and pain--before birth by the bite of the undead vampire that killed his mother, a young boy grew into a mythical warrior bearing a blood-curse: An almost insatiable desire for blood that he must fight every moment of every day. Now, the undead have infiltrated the corridors of power intent on conquering all mankind; now, against an army of immortals, one warrior fights for all humanity.
