Still freshly awoken in the Modern Era, Dracula may not be long for this world if Doctor Sun, the sharpest brain under glass, has his way! After hypnotically hitchhiking a ride from England to the United States on one of the Air Force's finest, Dracula confronts his enemy face to pane and earns some unlikely allies: Quincy Harker's vampire slayers, opposing Sun by backing the devil they know! Later, Dracula fights heroes that everyone knows: Doctor Strange and the Silver Surfer! But not even Dracula can live by blood and war alone, and he finds love with the virginal cultist Domini - by whom he conceives a son, golden Janus! For the first time in centuries, he feels a father's love for his child. But tragedy pierces him crueler than any stake when the orange skinned infant perishes - only to be not just touched by an angel but possessed by one, which Satan (or a reasonable facsimile) sees as total blasphemy! The father must pay for his sinless son's existence, and Dracula is reduced to mere mortalhood! After centuries of seeking power, Dracula is stripped of it all and must scramble for what little he can reclaim! Surrounded by enemies, facing vendettas from both Janus and Lilith, Daughter of Dracula, the ex-vampire lord will settle for nothing less than his former throne! But even if he reclaims it, what fate awaits - and how final will it be?
