Marcus and Shadow are on their way to Umbra after stopping at Chivitas. They need to pick up their personal affects, and Marcus wants to grab some technology that he thinks will help them take over Earth more efficiently. Will the ship break again? Are the vampires still asleep on Umbra? They won't know until they arrive at the land and go down to the surface.

Marcus, Shadow, Oliver, Alera and Lucia are on their way to Chivitas then Umbra after a stop at the Deep Space Space Station. Unfortunately, hostile code has been detected in the computer systems. Can Marcus and his family stop the code and delete it before they get to Umbra, or will they be forced to build another spaceship in an attempt to get back to their children on Earth?

Taking over Earth has proven to be a slow task. Conquering one city has taken the Carboni clan more than three years. In order to speed up the process, Marcus, Shadow, Alera, Oliver and Lucia must return to Umbra to harvest the planet's technology for controlling living creatures. Once they have this technology, Marcus estimates that they can take over at least half of Earth within the next three years. The good news is that with the Space Agency and Area 51s help, Marcus has procured the use of a Hyperspace Spacecraft. It's the latest engine design, and it will cut Marcus' trip to Umbra back from two years to six months to a year.

Shadow and Marcus are well on their way to taking over Earth. The humans are mostly oblivious. However, Marcus believes they need to start preparing to go back to Umbra in order to grab the technology on their old planet. In order to do that, they need to secure Earth. This means opening a vampire school and formally announcing the new vampire council.

Marcus may have thought his biggest problem was ensuring that they didn't alert the humans to their food-creation and family expansion activities, while they worked on taking over Earth, but a new threat is on the horizon. The Space Agency wants to recreate Marcus' spaceship engine fuel, which requires massive amounts of space dust. The problem with that is that Earth's atmosphere doesn't kill a nervous system destroying bacteria that's present in the space dust. Can Marcus delay them until he can take over the planet or will he have to change Earth's atmosphere and hope he doesn't kill every living thing on Earth?

Feeling the crunch of not capturing Earth yet and overwhelmed wiht their more than 30 childer, Marcus, Shadow, Oliver and Alera decide to take a vacation to the Southern Jungles. Unbeknownst to Shadow, however, it's not a real vacation. Marcus and Oliver want to explore the potential vampire pyramids for clues on the previous vampire races and why they didn't conquer Earth. Where they failed, Marcus plans to succeed, with thier left-behind technology, of course.

Marcus and Shadow have returned from their Beach City Vacation. Now, it's time to help Julian with his Beach City Mayor election campaign. Marcus sees it as a large step in the correct direction when it comes to taking over Beach city in the name of the vampires.

In order to ensure he can feed his growing family and the family of his friends, Oliver and Alera, Marcus must build the first blooddoll factory on Earth. Unfortunately, the living planet poses challenges. He's certain Earthlings would vehemently object to his plan to create humans for food, so he plans to hide his true intentions by opening a homeless shelter.

With the appearance of his old boss and ex-Bonded, Marcus is more than a little leery. These vampires are either going to be allies or competition. The race is on for Marcus to expand his businesses and take over Beach City before Caesar and Galla beat him to it or severely hinder his progress in turning Earth into a Vampire haven for his family.

Marcus' clan is growing. The childer are hatching, and the homeless shelter is becoming profitable. In fact, it's so profitable that he's opening a women's shelter behind his homeless shelter so that he can start live food production, but Marcus' unfinished business on Umbra and Chivitas is starting to come back to haunt him, threatening the existance of his current family.

Earth's sky is now purple, and the humans have noticed. It's not a rare sun effect or a trick on the eyes, and rioters demanding answers have appeared on the streets of Beach City. Marcus is less than thrilled and has vowed not to put up with that behavior on another planet.

Marcus and Shadow finally take thier vampire vacation, but it isn't to a luxury vampire resort. They havne't purchased that yet, but Marcus' sire is working on it. Instead, they travel back to the Jungle of the Vampire and the Pyramid City where they first met the Jungle Food. There's only a few things standing in their way, like a sudden tropical storm, some dehydrated vampires, Area 51 and the Space Agency.

Marcus' plans for Beach City are coming to fruition. Julian is set to take over as the new mayor. Unfortunately, they have a new threat. A new order of hunters has infiltrated Beach City and the mayor's office. Marcus must remove the hunters in order to keep Beach City safe for his family and move forward with his plan to make Earth a vampire-friendly planet.

Marcus' plans are moving right along. His blooddoll stock is growing, and his family is growing. Now, he just needs to stop the space agency from killing every living thing on the planet with space dust, and in order to do that he has to change Earth's atmosphere. While it's not an impossible task, he needs to create the gases, get into space and release them. ONly then will his food supply be safe.

Marcus, Shadow, Oliver and Alera are making progress on their takeover of Beach City, and they are starting to expand into Ocean City. So far, the majority of humans seem to be oblivious to the slow takeover of Earth by the vampire off-worlders, and that's only working to Marcus' advantage. In fact, the only group that seems to realize that Earth is being colonized by vampires are a new group of hunters, but so far, Marcus and his clan have been able to burn them out before they could get a foothold.

Partners in crime and lovers Avia Conn Bays and Benton Docks have one last heist to complete before going on vacation; scam a woman out of 50 million dollars. Unfortunately, things quickly get out of control when they learn the woman plans to expose them.
