Lisa Marie Gabriel presents a gothic narrative set in fifteenth century Italy during the High Renaissance. The story follows Juliana Contarini, a vampire shapeshifter inhabited by the Egyptian Goddess Sekhmet. Her divine mission requires her to report on human wickedness to Ra. In Florence, bloodlust and passion terrorize the streets as she encounters Angelica, an innkeeper's daughter who is actually Mullo, a murderous succubus driven by lust and vengeance. A duel to the death determines the conflict between these female vampires. Raffaelo Gabriellini becomes tragically entangled in Angelica's web of deceit.
