What is The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 about?

Enterbrain has been publishing the series with Tozai's illustrations since 2018, and there are currently 5 volumes in English. The light novels were licensed in English by Yen Press, and the anime is currently adapting Volume 3, and you can read its synopsis here:
Deep within the Lawless City lies the Blood Queen, a Progenitor Vampire, slumbering in her coffin for many moons. An expert at landing himself in trouble, Cid should know better than to go after her…but he’s dying to get a piece of the action. It’s time he shed his daytime persona to take on the role of Shadow! It seems, however, that he’s not the only one with this idea. Soon enough, he finds the three rulers of the Lawless City—Juggernaut the Tyrant, Yukime the Spirit Fox, and Crimson the vampire—are all on his tail. To complicate things even further, the Shadow Garden descends on the scene as the hour of the Blood Queen’s awakening looms closer and closer…
