When Maria is kicked out of the zombie-infested abbey where she's been residing for the past 612 years, she's forced to take care of the family Von Trapp, a rowdy clan in need of some serious discipline... or vampirification. After Maria turns the Von Trapp children into children of the night and marries the Von Trapp patriarch, the family seems destined for eternal (really, really eternal) bliss. But the Nazi Undeath Squads are on the march, intent on ridding Europe of bloodsuckers. And Maria will have to do everything in her power—supernatural or otherwise—to save her vampire brood.

Along with Libb, Odom and Eshau, Noab and other colorful characters as they spin a delightful and intriguing fictional tale of life, temptation, and adventure during the beginning era of Ur's civilization, the incredible beginnings of mankind. There has been found no written account of the first two thousand years of human history, Those who had been inspired of God communicated orally their knowledge to others, retained this knowledge and handed it down from father to son through successive generations, until finally it was recorded in the bible, ascribed to the books of Moses.

Is this generation, in the eyes of the Creator, a violent people, again on the brink of an economic collapse and moral ruin, doomed for destruction as has been foretold in scripture?
