Ever since a vampire took his son’s life, Dr. Rudolph Van Richten has waged a relentless battle against the creatures of the night. Armed with knowledge, he has uncovered the ultimate source of evil—the most powerful vampire to ever exist: Strahd Von Zarovich.
 
For nearly four centuries, Strahd has ruled Barovia with an iron grip. Once a strict but fair human lord, Strahd’s reign was marked by war, betrayal, and harsh laws. But as age took its toll, everything changed with the arrival of Tatyana. Her presence awakened something long dormant in him: hope, youth, and an intense desire. Strahd’s fall from grace came with the rise of his monstrous vampire form, earning him the title of the Devil of Barovia.
 
Now, few know the true nature of Strahd's power, but Dr. Van Richten is among the few who do. With the dark lord’s evil threatening the land, only Van Richten’s knowledge may stand between the vampire lord and the future of Barovia.
