About the Book

"James Finnigan--charismatic conman--and his motley group of grifters are deep undercover in a castle filled with vampires. They must stay one step ahead of the undead while also keeping their sanity and their group together. And while Finn has a plan to steal the famed treasure called the Silver Dragon, how can they remove a mountain of silver from beneath a castle while also staying alive? And has Sledge been honest about her involvement? As a descendant of the great vampire-killer Van Helsing, not killing vampires may prove too difficult to resist"--

Book Synopsis

More intense, suspenseful, and gothic than ever, the thrilling Silver saga from Stephan Franck concludes in Silver: Of Hunters and Prey, an epic finale complete with wry humor, compelling characters, and deep secrets.

Set in the noir-pulp era of the 1930s, Stephan Franck's Silver: Of Hunters and Prey is a rip-roaring, genre-bending graphic novel that draws on the best of gothic horror and heist tropes to tell a story that is pure adventure.

Offering the captivating dynamics of an ensemble cast of misfits, while inviting us into a world where Bram Stoker's Dracula is more fact than fiction, Silver is a smart, innovative series complete with world-class visuals and sharply drawn characters that's equal parts action, humor, and heart.

Deep undercover in a castle full of vampires, charismatic con man James Finnigan and his motley group of grifters must stay one step ahead of the undead in order to steal the famed treasure called the Silver Dragon and live to tell the tale. Will the team crack under pressure? And has Sledge been honest about her involvement? As the last of the Van Helsings, slaying vampires is in her blood, and merely stealing from them may just not be enough.
