In the aftermath of a painful departure from his maker, Sabrina, the vampire Michael O'Shane embarks on an excursion of self-identity, set in 1950s St. Louis. As Michael becomes further involved with a fellow vampire named Alphonse, he reconciles 70 years of immortality with the person he has become along the way. Decadence, heartbreak, and discovery line the path up to the present and as he untangles the strands, he finds himself through a new way of living - one involving bondage, dominance, and submission.
Ari and Soren's adventures continue as Soren struggles with his new vampiric urges and a coven of witches attempts to recruit Ari for their own ends.

As dark dreams plague Soren, Ari finds his new abilities difficult to control. Something is awakening within him, and as his power grows, he attracts the attention of a group of witches who call themselves the Hecataeon. They believe Ari is an emanation of the goddess Hecate - a physical manifestation of her power - and they want that power for themselves. With their relationship facing challenges from within, Ari and Soren must find a way to unite their strengths before external forces tear them apart.
