Caliphas is wrapped in a globe of permanent shadow, and it's all Vampirella's fault for unwittingly using a gift from a cruel god - the Blade of Darkness! Once the sword drew blood it enveloped the city in a cursed sheath of night, which has drawn countless creatures of the dark to the city, endangering everyone... including Vampirella's new friends, the adventurers Kyra and Merisiel. Danger strikes in the penultimate issue of this crossover adventure - and that's before the evil coterie of vampires and the army of monster hunters seeking Vampirella enter the fray!
