Camazotz has managed to secure nearly all the pieces of a powerful amulet that will give him untold strength. There's only one piece still to be recovered, and it's in Mexico-the seat of Camazotz's power. Now Jack, Ben and Emily are caught in a race to reach the Yucatan Peninsula. They are one step ahead of the vampire god and his evil servants, but the three friends know that Camazotz won't be far behind. Their only hope is to find the final, missing piece of the amulet before the vampire god does. And they'll get some help from a most unexpected source.
Jack wants to believe it was only a dream, that the vampires are gone, that they've been banished by an ancient ritual that sent their leader to the depths of hell. But he isn't so sure. That voice still echoes in his mind--the voice of a vampire god promising to return. Jack's friends Ben and Emily say it's just his imagination, and he desperately hopes they're right. While Victorian London may be safe, a strange sickness is raging in Paris. A familiar illness that leaves its' victims drained of blood.
Jack, Ben, and Emily travel to Mexico, the seat of the vampire god Camazotz's power, on a desperate quest to locate the last remaining piece of an amulet that, if found by Camazotz, will give the vampire untold strength and power.
When London begins to experience the same sickness that Paris experienced, Jack believes that the vampires have not been destroyed, but have moved on to another city.
