Storyline
A centuries-long war between humans and vampires has devastated the planet’s surface and led to a theocracy under an organization called The Church. Despite the vampires’ vulnerability to sunlight, and all of mankind’s technological advances, the vampires’ greater strength and speed made them impossible to defeat, until humanity sheltered in giant walled cities and trained a group of elite warriors, the Priests, which turned the tide.

“The book is so rich. There are so many fantastic details, but in order to preserve and have the time to bring that to the screen, we had to make important choices.”
