Nowadays, darkness is called to reign. The Brotherhood of Divine Light has been protecting the world from monsters for centuries, but the return of Count Dracula, awakened from his protected tomb, changes that. The only survivor of the organization, Gabriel Van Helsing, last member of the Count's illustrious enemy family, will have to change his method. He goes to meet certain special beings, considered as monsters but also wishing to fight for the light, in order to fight against Dracula and his legions of vampires. Gabriel will have to learn to ignore the prejudices inherent in his family to protect the world from darkness !
