The Door completes the Desire story with Koshka embracing his place in the clan as well as the world. His attempt to divest himself of hindering and painful emotions drops and he embraces them. Instead of pushing his lover away, his actions profess his true feelings. As the conflict with the cold-war style Javis-coordinated rebellion against the Elder Vampires advances, Koshka is called upon again by his clan to risk his soul and sanity to forge a path to victory. He must enter the afterlife of his enemy and retrieve the immortal's true name, and through its use, trap him in a Hell, reserved for another. Javis works with their unlikely ally, The Order, to oppose their common enemy but the level of deceit and misdirection runs deep and threatens to bring both groups to ruin. In his actions to deny the Elder Vampires access to the Third Seal, Volk brings about a climactic end to the trilogy, rendering unexpected results. Dark revelations bring secrets to light, which expose the last Vampiric prophet, shattering the concept of preordained destiny. Given the chance to change the set path to Armageddon, the Vampires hold the fate of the world in their hands.
