Baron Armand Blessé, a 300-year-old vampire, leaves his native land to visit the Maine coast where his need for blood results in the death of several young women. In the small town of Rams Head, Maine, the attacks of the women and the death of one by exsanguination, involves the police chief, Dave Collins. Baffled by the nature of the attacks he is unable to solve, he calls on his old Vietnam commander, Ian Rawlins, to help him with the investigation. A young French heiress, Azur Blessé, arrives in Rams head with her cat, Saki, after she inherits a mansion on an island known as Dark Island. Unbeknownst to her, the mansion is the Vampire’s lair. She meets and precipitately falls in love with Rawlins. This incurs the jealousy and subsequent pursuit of Azur by the angry Baron. As the plot evolves and delves into vampirism, they need the expertise of Dr. Morreau, an authority on the Undead. This is a tale of unrelenting passion and high adventure on a stormy windswept sea, culminating in a confrontation with the Baron on Dark Island, with three friends and a cat attempting to save Azur from the Vampire’s evil exploitation.
