"Out there, somewhere, was a horde of vampires being trained to destroy me, not to mention a rather angry werewolf who I'm sure would love to join the fray." Half-human, half-vampire, Nora Bell must survive the passing years with the invincibility of immortality and the frailty of humanity. Never fully a part of either society, Nora soon finds herself unable to trust anything in her life as a mysterious vampire known only as "The Marquis" tilts her whole world out of focus. Seduction, betrayal, and conspiracies draw her deeper into the world of monsters and the creatures who hunt them and force her to come to terms with the one thing she has ignored and denied for a century, what she is.
