Denied
The battle
between good and evil has become a war between love and
lust
As the black clouds
of the industrial age begin their creeping domination of
Northern England, a brooding vampire, Bachell, settles on the
outskirts of a bustling Lancashire town,
searching for the perfect victim.
Under a death
sentence by a powerful female vampire, Maria, with whom he is
obsessed, he has neglected his needs to a dangerous degree. Now
he must either feed successfully or face a fate worse than death.
And his perfect victim must be willing.
Not only is the
strong-willed but naïve Katie not willing, she is soon to be
married. This leads Bachell into a desperate game of manipulation
and seduction, dramatically pitting the ideals and emotions of
young love against the dark forces of sexual fantasy and
lust.
In the bloody
aftermath, a group of vampire hunters head to Paris to destroy
their enemies. However, with Maria reigning from the shadows,
they find themselves having to make dark choices. As disaster
looms, they seek the help of a shy, beautiful young man, whose
deadly power stems from a tragic curse.
