In 19th century New York, Miss Persephone Greaves' first season is far more successful than she could have ever hoped. Despite the age old stigma zombies face for atrocities past, her ethereal beauty and charm garner ringing approval from New York's famous Four Hundred. She even finds herself caught in a rivalrous love triangle between wicked Vampyre Count Nicodemus von Shroud, roguish Lycanthrope chieftain Rufus Bane and the ominous ghoul next door, Lord Lucius Newmont. However, Persephone's appeal may be her undoing when she becomes key to a plot led by renegade humans to destroy everyone and everything she holds dear.
