Synopsis

Retribution is book 3 of Steven Savile’s von Carstein trilogy. The Black Library note on the novel calls Mannfred the greatest and most dangerous of the Vampire Counts in this sequence, and the new lord of Sylvania. The rulers of the Empire are divided. The note says they must unite against him or the land of men will be lost.

That threat is the jacket’s open question. It is an Old World novel of his return to Sylvania. Josh Reynolds’s The Return of Nagash is a different book, set in the End Times, in which Mannfred and Arkhan plot a resurrection.
