- The Sabbat templar Talley – a fearsome killer and sworn protector of the archbishops – is duty bound to stand in her way...if only he could find out which of his charges is her target. Moncada orders Talley to discover who hired Lucita and to stop the prodigal childe without harming her. It is an impossible task... but Talley never fails.

Background Information[]
The 1999 Jul-Dec Catalog has different text entry for the book:
One Million Words of Terror
It began with Clan Novel: Toreador.
This book, Clan Novel: Lasombra, is the sixth of a 13-book series concerning the Kindred - the hugest event ever in the World of Darkness.
From small details to grand spectacles, this epic series of over one million words reveals the secrets of this hidden world through the eyes of individuals on both sides of a great conflict. The continued existence of all Kindred, from the youngest neonate to the eldest Methuselah, hangs in the balance.
Death to the Undying
The Lasombra are known primarily for ruling the fractious Sabbat. The Assamites are known primarily as the assassins of the Kindred. Lucita, a Lasombra assassin, has spent years fighting to make her unlife her own. It has been a hard-fought struggle, for her sire is none other than Moncada, one of the architects of the Sabbat offensive in North America. Lucita will stop at nothing to humiliate her sire... and there is little under the moon that can stop her.
