An antagonists book for Vampire: The Requiem

Imagine if you could choose your ancestors. You could choose the blood that you inherit. It's not the same for us as it is for the living. Our fathers choose us, but we get to choose our grandfathers. And for all that power we gain from the Blood, and all the power we see in our elders, all of us who commit ourselves to a new family of the Damned learn that all powerful vampires are liars. When we choose our inheritance we also choose how we will hurt.
-Komloch, Avus of the Paris Toreador
This book is:
* The culmination of the year-long public competition to create the most compelling and horrifying incarnations of the Kindred bloodlines that Vampire players could imagine.
* The first look into shadows cast by Vampire: The Requiem - these are the official versions of bloodlines hinted at in the core rulebook, complete with new vampire powers like Disciplines and Devotions.
* A collection of new rules, mechanisms and insightful articles on creating bloodlines and making them the heart of thrilling and frightening stories. This new look back at the inner workings of vampire bloodlines reflects three years of development and player experiences, expanding and updating the nature of bloodlines in Vampire: The Requiem.
Bloodlines: The Hidden is the first in a new Vampire series that focuses on the refinements and abuses of undead blood. Drawn from the shadows are 12 bloodlines from all five clans, lineages that diverge from the clans and that have dedicated the ages to keeping their existence secret, or to lurking on the edges of discovery, devising their own inscrutable machinations. And now you can play them.
These are the vampires other Kindred whisper about in the dark. These monstrous lineages, terrifying, taboo and bizarre, mystify even the Damned.
Each is surrounded with a fog of rumour and myth that makes the truth of their power impossible to know for certain - until their fatal flesh is faced in person. This sequel to the highly successful Bloodlines: The Hidden features nine new bloodlines, each with unique supernatural Disciplines or blood magics, along with and intriguing history and collection of mysterious legends for each bloodline, so Storytellers can introduce them with an aura of fear.
They are the young idealists and passionate revolutionaries of the Damned, rallying in the dark against the jagged, outdated social chains of Kindred society. When Carthians have their way, the Danse Macabre plays out on a level floor still sticky with blood. Come together and change the night!

A wealth of characters, plot hooks and Storytelling tips make this an invaluable resource for any Vampire: The Requiem chronicle.
Strange Bedfellows… The Kindred are solitary predators, yet something within compels them to seek out others of their kind. Whether formed as a social faction, a cult of heretics, a consortium of conspirators or as an exercise in safety in numbers, a coterie of Kindred is no strange thing to see after sunset. How, then, do its members reconcile their bestial urges with the demands of nightly unlife? Trust doesn’t come easily. Coteries examines the “family unit” of Kindred society. Broken down by sect and clan relations, this book sheds light on how groups of disparate vampires set aside their differences (or nurse grudges) to protect themselves against the hostile world in which they exist. Sometimes, only your fellow Kindred can protect you from the darkness, but trusting them to do so is a dangerous proposition in itself.
Look, it's simple:
See that fat lick over there?
With the backpack?
When he steps onto the black asphalt of the parking lot, he's mine. Until then, he's in the fields, where any vampire can take him. I am the lord of this ground, and the penalty for poaching from me is you must drink from me. When you drink the kine that walk on my ground you drink from me.- Sycorax, Lady of the Blacktop

A Clan book for Vampire: The Requiem
Slaves to the addictive taste of vampiric Vitae, ghouls trade servitude for that heady substance.

Among those known as blood slaves, there's no such thing as "just one fix." Ghouls examines the life and lot of those who serve vampiric masters. From in-depth rules on being a ghoul, to ghoul families and systems for creating them, to Vitae-fed plants known as mandragora, this book fully explores the effects of the Blood on mortal lives.

But how well do ancient ways mesh with the Damned of the modern world? On whose backs is the Ivory Tower's foundation built? This Covenant Guide for Vampire: The Requiem details the history, hierarchy, and goals of the Invictus (one of Vampire's core factions), and serves as an invaluable guide to the world of the Kindred from the covenant's unique viewpoint.
