Locked in oblivion for well over a century, Victoria MacKay rises from a deep vampire sleep into a newer, faster paced world, screaming her reluctance to leave the peace of Mother Earth. Adrift in a city filled with freaks far worse than her self, Victoria is befriended by humans, and pursued by her own kind. She longs for a normal life, but the bloody, addictive nature of vampirism throws her back into a dark world of murder and madness.
