Virtually overnight Four Corners became a ghost town and the Seven were turned. One hundred and twenty-five years later their relationships are still warped by the traumas of that experience. Now, they hunt their own kind, always searching for the obsessed vampire who set the deadly chain of events in motion and still holds Chris in limbo.
As the Seven travel towards what used to be Four Corners on their annual pilgimage -
- Archeologists begin excavations to explore the mysterious disappearance of Four Corners and the truth about the legend of the Magnificent Seven.
- Vampire hunters, having been told they have a chance at killing seven masters, an unheard of number to travel together, lie in wait.
- Chris's sire forms an unholy alliance in a plot to reclaim him.
Diamondback skillfully weaves multiple threads of the story together, moving back and forth between present day and the story of how the Seven were turned. Told with psychological intensity and breath-taking action Camino del Diablo mesmerizes the reader.
