People on the street call the Thrall vampires. But they are not the undead of legend. They are more like parasites with a hive mentality. "Thrall" is their own term for the mind control they have on their human "Hosts" and the "Herds". The hive is ruled by a group of queens who control individual Hosts and the human Herds. The Thrall despise most humans, otherwise known as "Prey". There are very few "Not Prey" in the world. The Not Prey earned the respect of the queens by some drastic deed, such as killing one of the vampires. Hosts and Herds can't lie to Not Prey and the Queens have to treat them as an equal. So having the title "Not Prey" has wonderful advantages. However, Not Prey don't run, don't hide, and don't use guns or other distance weapons. If they do, they lose their status.

Kate Reilly is Not Prey. Six years ago the love of her life turned her over to the vampire Larry. Kate took Larry down and survived his bite only to discover that the Thrall's venom, mixed with her own natural psychic ability, has transformed her. Monica, a Thrall Queen, wants nothing more than to see Kate dead. But first, she has other plans for Kate.

Kate's new tenant, Tom Bishop, is a firefighter. He also happens to be lycanthrope (werewolf). Since the Werewolves and the Thrall are mortal enemies, having Tom around is very handy for Kate.
