I'm really sad to see this book is no longer available in amazon, In case they bring it back, or you locate it elsehow, know that this is a rare book even for a company with such high quality standards as white wolf.

It is a story of a cabal of vampires in their search for the inner peace of Golconda. Ancient, all of them, they had known Saulot personally and witnessed his elevated state. Ever since, they are bent on the path of achieving Golconda.

Their search led them in ages long past to a castle in Transylvania. There they awakened a terrible secret that has haunted them ever since, keeping them virtual prisoners in a forgotten land. They are Inconnu of another time, lost in the quest of a cure long forgotten in the Time of Judgement.

The characters are to find this group of vampires and find out about some of the most intriguing sides of the curse of immortality. The issue of Golconda and the [sect known as] the Inconnu have never received adequate treatment.

The characters hidden within the castle are some of the most interesting methuselas ever created by White Wolf. They have strong, complete and absolutely believable personalities. They are locked in a grid of relationships so complex that a whole appendix of the book is dedicated to showing graphic relationship diagrams! And all from part of a grand story with epic proportions and dark secrets to discover. Oportunities for strong stories are endless in this book.

For people that play crossover chronicles from Dark Ages to Modern Times, this adventure will have several added bonuses. It draws heavily from both times, and although it is set in modern age Transylvania, old timers will have quite a few interesting memories come up...

5 stars it is from me.
