Plot Summary[]
Business at the vampire nightclub is going well thanks to Baby Colin's performances, but Nadja encounters a new problem when the nightclub's wraith workers decide to form a labor union. To try and solve the problem, she organizes a trip to the Night Market, a secret marketplace used by many types of supernatural creatures. While Nadja searches for a product that can help her deal with the wraiths, Laszlo takes the opportunity to educate Baby Colin on the ways of different supernatural cultures, and Nandor accidentally volunteers Guillermo to take part in a series of fights against other vampires' familiars. Guillermo wins all of the fights easily, but irritates the crowd by refusing to harm any of the other familiars. His last opponent is a powerful vampire, but Nandor steps in and volunteers to fight Guillermo himself instead, thereby protecting Guillermo from either dying or publicly killing a vampire. After a lengthy fight, in which Guillermo defeats Nandor, he devises a plan for them to escape, and Nandor pretends to snap his neck so the match can end without either of them dying. Nadja succeeds in purchasing a substance known as "water lily of the Nile," a powerful narcotic for wraiths, and uses it as leverage to bribe the wraiths' union leader, Xerxes; however, the other wraiths then kill him, so she reluctantly agrees to improve their working conditions.[1]
