  Once a renowned opera Diva, lethal duellist and scandalous libertine, Julie d'Aubigny carries the vampiric contagion in her veins five decades after her apparent death. In a life of inhuman power and cruel sensuality, she navigates the occult intrigues of Europe with the aid of twin companions, facing down enemies both righteous and unholy. Arnold Brennan is a devout young clergyman who believes that all evil stems from mankind's rebellion against God's laws, and that so-called monsters are nought but pagan myth and fanciful superstition. But events set in motion by his father's murder will lead him on a search for truth that brings him face to face with inhuman forces. As their paths cross, these very different individuals must contend with the deadly machinations of hostile occult societies and ancient, merciless predators.
