But the baby has been chosen to become the new prince of the Strigoi, a romanian secret organization led by Vlad Tepes who ruled Transylvania in the XVth century. Tepes was the first to suffer from the baby's disease and survived through the centuries by drinking blood.
A mixing of medical thriller and vampire story.
