Vicki Nelson, formerly of Toronto's homicide unit and now a private
detective, witnesses the first of many vicious attacks that begin
plaguing the city of Toronto. As death follows unspeakable death, Vicki,
in an attempt to stop these forces of dark magic, is forced to renew her
tempestuous relationship with her former partner, Mike Celluci - along
with another, unexpected ally.... Henry Fitzroy, the illegitimate son of
King Henry VIII, has learned over the course of his long life how to
blend with humans; how to deny the call for blood in his veins. Without
him, Vicki and Mike would not survive the ancient force of chaos that
has been unleashed upon the world - but in doing so, his identity may be
exposed, and his life forfeited.
