Differel Van Helsing is the 12-year old descendent of Abraham Van Helsing, the conqueror of Dracula and founder of the Caerleon Order, Britain's premier monster-hunting organization. She always knew that one day she would take over as Director from her father, but that wasn't suppose to happen for another nine years.
Now her father is dead, and his murderer has made an attempt on her life. She must flee to stay alive, but that cuts her off from any help from her servants and the Order's agents and paramilitary troops. She is on her own; her only ally is a stable cat, while her only hope is her father's mysterious deathbed confession about a secret weapon hidden in the family crypt. She wants to believe him, but how can she be sure it wasn't a delusional dream?
More importantly, will she survive long enough to find out?
