Desperate to prevent a war, the lands call together a Council of Kings (and we know that didn't go well last time). Meanwhile, Jon Hunter and Sir Ferenc investigate a murder in the castle, the trail of which leads to a new conspiracy. As the conflicts escalate, Elizabeth leads Helena and Sara on a mission to uncover the secret of the burning fields. This leads her to a startling revelation and the specter of a new threat rising. And when she's confronted with a harsh reality, how far will Elizabeth go in the name of blood and magic? Dynamite's latest fantasy epic is building to a fever pitch in "Reign in Blood"!

In “Kauzstadt”, the penultimate episode of the “Our Lady of Shadow” story arc, Vampirella and Drago travel to Eastern Europe in search of the vampire blood necessary to defeat Lady Umbra, the Queen of Shadows. Their first stop is in Serbia, where they must locate and hunt down the rarest of vampires, the eerily beautiful Leptirica, before heading to the Transylvanian village of Kauzstadt, home of the King of the Nosferatu—who also happens to be Vampirella’s half-brother! From the creative team of writer Nancy A. Collins (Swamp Thing, Sunglasses After Dark) and Patrick Berkenkotter (Avengers/Invaders, The Torch).
