Here\u2019s a brief summary of the story:
\nTrue Blood: The Great Revelation tells of a world where vampires emerge from the shadows to join everyday society. After centuries of living in darkness, they are able to make their presence known with the advent of a synthetic blood \u2013 Tru Blood \u2013 created by a Japanese company, which allows them to co-exist peacefully with humans without murderous feedings. But for many humans this revelation is greeted with the fear of the unknown. In the midst of a new community of people struggling for acceptance in society, the ancient and wise \u201cVampire King\u201d of California, Lamar, is summoned to Tokyo for a meeting with the executives of the company that produces Tru Blood, where he\u2019ll learn of their broader aspirations and the role they\u2019ve devised for him.<\/p>\n

HBO will also be hosting a panel session with Alan Ball & Charlaine Harris and the cast of \u201cTrue Blood\u201d on Thursday, July 24 at 4:30pm in room 6CDEF of the San Diego Convention Center.<\/p>\n
