Summary

After centuries of absolute monarchy in the six countries, based on the belief that royal blood is the only protection human may have from werewolves and vampires, one of them is swept away by a popular revolution which guarantees equal rights to all citizens, including werewolves and vampires, declaring fear of these races a simple superstition. Republic of Guntreland, besides being threatened by foreign invasion and a local rebellion of superstitious villagers who see forced vaccination as a werewolf-minister's attempt to make human flesh more palatable to his race's appetite, is torn by a political strife of three factions: Masdenists, who believe in the sanctity of private property; Hrebsists, who do not consider the Revolution to be complete until all men have equal means; and Henscherists who wish to make their strict moral codex into a universal law. Reiner Kunze, a Henscherist who had earned his standing by writing down Royalist crimes, becomes commander of the newly-freed island of Alvald, and immediately becomes target to Hrebsist attacks due to his decision to, believing that cultural heritage can only enrich the Republic, severely punish their members who are burning down castles of former feudalists. His authority will be eroded yet more drastically when children in the local school become prey to attacks of anonymous vampires and werewolves.
