Beo is immortal. Thousands of years old, she has power over space and matter; but she is alone. She is only one of her kind. She doesn't even know what her βkind' is. Born to a human woman, Beo was a wife and mother, but she outlived her family. Now she chooses a simple existence. She keeps to herself and only interacts with members of one human family. In payment for one ancient act of kindness, Beo protects the Whitehouse family.
Maryssa Whitehouse is a lost soul. Her empathic ability is more a curse than gift. She seeks the company of vampires to escape her burden.
She goes to the underground club in Detroit to retrieve Maryssa from the chief vampire, Michael's holding. There she meets a cold, hard creature. His master calls him βCanis' or dog. He is a slave to Michael, forced to kill on command.
After saving Maryssa, Beo snaps the slave vampire's bonds and renames him βDis' after the roman god of Death and Judgment. Now he is free to slay Michael.
However, Michael's death has repercussions. Michael was chief, and whoever kills the chief becomes the chief. Both the power and danger of the position are Dis's whether he wants them or not. The decaying city of Detroit is a ripe territory for a vampire. New vampires and other beings move in to challenge Dis.
