Set in 1889, the story about the five remaining vampire clans in Europe who are training to survive. In their midst is Alisa (14) who has the power to choose between eternal life as a vampire or for all vampires to live as humans.

In 1898, a prophecy warns the five remaining vampire clans in Europe that they need to unite or else they will become extinct, but joining forces is easier said than done. In the last decades the clans have been fighting one another in the clan-wars. Now the Elders need to set aside their hostile feelings so their young Heirs can attend the vampire school that is created on the ship The Elisabetha. The Heirs will learn one another's powers to become stronger than ever. They must learn to trust one another and work together if they are to beat Dracula, who has awakened after a long sleep. Alisa, 14, of the Vamalia clan needs to accept that she has a special connection to Dracula through the Spark. The Heirs face challenges they have never met before like attacks from the feared Redmasks, vampires controlled by Dracula, steering through storms, and facing vampire hunter Van Helsing. They need to survive every challenge because they're on a quest and it's up to Alisa and the other Heirs to save the world from eternal darkness.—Happy_Evil_Dude
