City of Vampires

Deutsch (original) · Auto-translated to English

However, it is soon replaced by the more lucrative business of human blood, which those who have nothing else to offer have to sell. In the background, sisters Phoebe (Soma Pysall) and Bea (Lea Drinda) figure out vampire politics and crime.
