Summaries
From the submission request: "Julian takes in a wounded fugitive, placing the San Francisco Kindred at risk for invaders who wish to possess him at any cost. The compassion of the prince and an ancient pact are tested by the demands of the Masquerade as the clans and the city are terrorized by a madman."
From a distributor: Agent With Style: "A foundling boy, wild and uncontrollable, is taken in by Julian, the Prince of San Francisco. Can he make this wolfling into a human being again? And what happens when he does, and the boy realizes just who his benefactor is?"

From the Zine: A Note from the Author
This novel is based on the short-lived and much mourned television program, Kindred, The Embraced. It should be noted that no attempt was made to study up on or follow the rules outlined in the role playing game that the show was based on.
I started writing this after the pilot episode and had most if it done by the third episode, so please forgive the independent time-line. In my alternate universe, Archon Raine and Eddie Fiori are still very much alive, but that’s really the only difference between the show and this story.
Although this has nothing to do with this book, I thought I'd share a brief outline of the missing episode, Nightstalker, that I saw at Comic-con at the White Wolf booth. Yes, we are all missing a beautiful, moving episode from our collection! It showcases Jeff Kober as Daedalus, in love with a singer at the Haven. To woo her he tries unsuccessfully to change his appearance with Nosferatu magic. Eventually, Lillie takes pity on him and gives him the gift of her Toreador blood, changing him for a night into a beautiful man (Jeff Kober sans make-up). The change doesn't last and he is tragically rejected.
In this lost episode, we also have a rogue Gangrel brought over against his will. Cash, as Primogen of the Gangrel clan, is given the task of teaching him the rules (they both get strapped in straight jackets and tossed in the loony bin where Cash teaches him about The Kindred and the Masquerade). The fledgling Gangrel goes on a vengeful killing spree without any interest in maintaining the Masquerade. He targets the beautiful singer that Daedalus loves. Julian and Frank battle it out with the crazed Gangrel at the Haven, where Julian is forced to kill the Gangrel. Along the way, we learn why Sasha left Julian’s home (because Julian leaves Cash in the asylum) and we see Julian and Lillie officially break up along with a whole host of other juicy tidbits! I believe Nightstalker was pulled because it was too similar to Live Fast, Die Young and Leave a Beautiful Corpse, which also featured a singer at the dub and a young Kindred out of control.
If anyone out there has a way to get a copy of this episode, let me know at once!
