Publisher's Synopsis
In 1867, a sailor was caught drinking the blood of two dead men on a whaling vessel. He was pardoned for insanity and died in an asylum. At least, that's the cover story. In fact, nineteen-year-old vampire Nathaniel Cade was secretly recruited by the president to defend the United States against "unnatural" threats. Cade is the ultimate secret agent, battling nightmares before they can break into the daylight world of the American dream.
