When Alexis is sent to Boston, Massachusetts to investigate a series of brutal murders she begins to unravel a conspiracy to overthrow the vampire Ancients.
Alexis Winthrope is not only a vampire, but a Hunter – an enforcer of the Mandate of Blood. Her only peace, in a life she did not asked for, is destroying Rogues - vampires who have broken the law. She performs her duty to preserve the secrecy of her society of the supernatural, from modern humans. This world remains hidden in the dark recesses of human society and is ruled by the race of vampires.
On a mission to destroy a Rogue, Alexis is nearly caught in a trap that she suspects was set by the Rogue’s twin brother, Stanislav. Pushing Ming - the leader of the Hunters - to investigate the conspiracy, Alexis is instead sent to Boston Massachusetts to investigate a series of supernatural killings.
Part of a Triad of Hunters, Alexis is joined by René and Nikita where they meet with the unwelcoming Guardian of the colony, Jean-François. He offers them little information other than sending them to the vampire run night club The Ebon Light where Alexis meets a human with a very interesting gift.
