Nuit's so bad even the Vampire Council wants him gone. He's hooked up with a demon and has created "the Minion" of rogue hybrid-vampires. But they aren't just vampires: master vampire Fallon Nuit uses his recording label as a front for gangsters, drugs and a multinational corporate empire that controls most of the world's economy. When the guardian team faces action, they tend to stand around jive-talking their adrenaline up for pages before they go after the vamps. As if this weren't fantasy enough, Damali is also a "vampire slayer." The entourage of this black "Buffy" is a politically correct rainbow of seven guardians, who disguise their weapons as musical instruments to get through airport security and on to the next gig. Lovely African-American Damali Richards is a "spoken word" performer with a complement of musicians and technicians in this first of a projected horror trilogy from Banks.
