A dangerous and illegal organization of vampires, ‘la société rouge,’ is taking hold in Baton Rouge, defying the governing authority of vampires in the States. The leader, Vangeline, is extremely powerful, permitting her followers to run around creating aberrations – half human/half vampire creatures - controlled exclusively by their creator.
Revelin (Rev) Scott, l’enforcier, resistant to the feminine wiles, is chosen to go undercover and infiltrate Vangeline’s lair to eliminate her. The last two sent never returned, assumed to have been sent to their True Deaths. Rev swears not to fail, reiterating his oft-used motto "No one goes Scott-free."
Rev’s partner, is human, Denice (Deni) Geron, whose brother was an aberration until he disappeared. Deni is reluctant, hating vampires because of her brother’s fate, and is convinced she will die during this mission. At first she is repulsed by Rev, her feelings changing as she gets to know him. Heaven forbid could she actually be falling for the enemy? As Rev is lured into la société, and doomed to failure, his only hope is the enticing Deni, and their unlikely allies.
