night settles over the land, dark and dangerous things - hungry things - begin to stir.

At their vineyard on the outskirts of the city, the members of the De Alba Coven wake and prepare for feasting and ritual. Within the rundown buildings of the warehouse district, the Los Gatos Coven wreak havoc on the drug-addicted homeless population. And in the mountains beyond, the Black Forest Clan are engaged in a feast of their own.

As the night progresses, the three bloodthirsty groups - vampires and werewolves, the oldest of sworn enemies - move slowly but surely toward each other and the inevitable battle that must ensue when grievances and grudges both new and ancient are brought to a head on the dark and dirty streets of Fresno, California.
