ing enlightenment, magic was fading into myth, and monstrosities were no longer feared but hunted, a vampire was born in Paris. Christian Asinoph possesses the ancient power of the Soul Reaver. The ability to steal souls was uniquely held by only the original vampire and his trusted lieutenants, collectively known as the Circle of the Seven.

After being cast out by the Vampire Guild, Christian was left to wander the shadowy sewers of Paris for nearly two centuries. Overcoming his fears despite the oppressive darkness and constant threat of danger, guided by the souls he has reaved and a vision of hope and love, Christian embarks on a journey that takes him from the murky alleyways of Paris to the opulent halls of England's royal bloodline and, ultimately, the very heart of the vampire species hidden deep within the Carpathian Mountains.

Christian must confront the malevolent Necromancer to save himself and the world. From her Valley of Darkness, this mistress of darkness has all but caused the extinction of the vampire species, stolen the world's magic, and dispatched her acolytes to seize the Path of Kaldoron.

Armed with only the souls he has consumed and his companions, Christian must fulfil his destiny, or all is lost.
