Synopsis

Holly Chang, once known as Sorrow, hunts angels in the city's shadowy underground. An insane archangel left her with a vampire's bloodlust, the ability to mesmerize prey and a bite that is poisonous. When someone puts a bounty on her head, Venom, a vampire who has served Archangel Raphael for centuries and is one of his private guard, gets drawn into the danger around her. Venom has his own deadly reputation and a long history of keeping people at a distance, yet he finds himself protecting a woman who is hard to protect. Holly's strange and violent power is also changing and awakening, and as the hunt for her closes in, the two must decide how far they will trust each other.
