Prologue

Venture tower was in ashes, the orange and red hues twisting in a futile resistance as they morphed into tendrils of smoke. A smirk crawled its way across her face as she walked away, her Camarilla ties dying along with the lost souls inside.

Nines was there, waiting for her. His face glistened with blood, his eyes haunted with images of past lives flying before them. The flames glinted off the barrel of the Colt Anaconda held loosely in his fist.

The revolver slipped from her fingers and clattered against the melting rubble.
