Yearning for freedom from her pampered life in Venice, wealthy Fenice Zucchar stows away on her brother's ship. When she is discovered, her angry brother abandons her in the panic-stricken port city of Varna, where she becomes an easy target for the Dark Lord terrorizing the region. When he offers her more freedom than she had ever imagined at the price of complete subjugation, Fenice follows the vampire to his mountain home, where she encounters the once-mortal Kelene. Based on the three "weird sisters" in Bram Stoker's Dracula
