The vampire rescue force entered the council compound like a supernatural storm. King Damien led from the front. His eight hundred years of combat experience made him unstoppable. Behind him, Shadowmere's elite warriors were fighting with the Order soldiers, beating them with their supernatural power.
Lord Richard helped by providing Eclipse Court's magical powers. The vampire attacks were overwhelming, coordinated, and merciless. The Council had violated diplomatic protocols, tortured prisoners, and planned public executions of visiting dignitaries. The vampire response was fueled by justified anger.
Despite her own injuries from fleeing through the catacombs, Helena guided the vampire rescue force. Adrian stayed in Thornfield, he needed treatment first.
