The Kindred are solitary predators, yet something within compels them to

seek out others of their kind. Whether formed as a social faction, a cult

of heretics, a consortium of conspirators, or as an exercise in safety in

numbers, a coterie of Kindred is no strange thing to see after sunset.

Broken down by sect and clan relations, this book sheds light on how

groups of disparate vampires set aside their differences (or nurse

grudges) to protect themselves against the hostile world in which they

exist.
