Summary
From the back cover, translated from German:
- A City Book for Vampire: The Masquerade
- The City...
- ruled by a Prince, around whom fierce rumors are entwined. Managed by a divided council of the First-Born.
- ...the Blood...
- ...grows scarce in Frankfurt, when overpopulation threatens the unlives of all Caine's children in Main's city. Every night becomes a question of existence. Duplicity and falsehood rules over all.
- ...the Death...
- Omnipresent, threatening, final, inevitable. It lurks behind the facades of glittering bank headquarters. It awaits the Cainites in the townhouses and slums of the Moloch Frankfurt.
- And it knows: its time is coming.
- Frankfurt by Night includes:
- A detailed description of the Rhein-Main region, its history and culture
- Powerful Cainites, who pursue their dark plans here on the pulse of the Germany economy
