Assamite: Clan Novel (Vampire: The Masquerade)
by Gherbod Fleming
Category: Fiction

The Vampire the Masquerade Clan Novel Saga is a thirteen-volume masterpiece, presenting the war between the established Camarilla leadership and the growing power of the brutal Sabbat on the East Coast of the United States. Each novel is told from the perspective of one of the thirteen clans, intertwining with the others, and filling in missing pieces artfully as we follow battle after battle, intrigue after intrigue—and the appearance of a strange artifact that falls into the hands of a solitary Toreador sculptor. Clan Novel Assamite is the seventh novel in the series. For nearly a millennium, Fatima al-Faqadi has stalked and destroyed other creatures of the night. Few are her peers. To exist is to serve. All for the glory of Haqim, Antediluvian founder of the Assamite clan. But now the Final Nights are at hand, and a herald has risen to judge the children of Haqim. To prove herself worthy, Fatima must assassinate not only Cardinal Monçada of the Sabbat, but also his childe, Lucita, the only creature in hundreds of years to evoke passion from Fatima's cold heart. Faith versus loyalty versus love—and Fatima is caught in the middle. This series is a monumental 13-novel exploration of the forbidden world of the Kindred. What began in Clan Novel: Toreador continues here, and its ending will determine the fate of every human—and inhuman—being in the world.
