The Tradition and First Born Law have governed the way of life for hundreds of years - an agreement where humans supply Vampires with fresh blood for the protection of their cities, and a law that promises the first born child of each family to that city's Vampire cause. Vampires reign supreme underground, but even they fear what awaits them on the desolate surface. The faltering Sun has dawned a new age of faster, stronger Vampires - the Vampeez. Levi is a First Born - property of Salvation and scheduled to be Turned on his 18th birthday. When his girlfriend, Sarah, is Turned months before his own birthday, he finds himself thrust into the secrets of the Vampire world in attempts to salvage her memories and their relationship. Salvation's council seizes Sarah's vulnerability to begin their plans to do away with the Vampeez, but they must also contend with a new threat. A new Vampeez Queen has been crowned and is about to prove herself to be a formidable foe.
