On a world ruled by strigoi?a breed of urbane vampyres?the newly crowned vampyre queen, Shayala, must navigate and survive the machinations of her Court, where envy and jealousy, conspiracy and betrayal are the rule. Here, most humans exist as chattel, lower even than slaves. The few free humans are relegated to tribal societies in the hinterlands, and strigoi fill all the roles within the feudal hierarchy, from slave to sovereign. Now, the number of humans is dwindling, adding to the growing unrest and discontent.

The Moroi Hunters is the first novel of The Skeletal Throne series. The story unfolds within the worlds-spanning universe of Legends, Myths, and PropheciesTM, a setting fraught with tales of magic and might, bravery and cowardice, and Gods and Dæmons.
