Released from a witch's curse, vampire Duella Sutherland time travels to the present in hopes of starting over, but the witch he believes has been destroyed, arrives to torment him. He possesses a magical amulet that once belonged to her, and she will stop at nothing to get it back. Duella is strong and commanding, and vows to end the witch's existence forever--if he can unlock the mystery of the talisman. Alas, Duella's ignorance about the talisman allows the witch to set traps for him--seduction, murder, entrapment. Fortified by an army of evil spirits, the witch appears to have the upper hand in the battle--until a beguiling she-vampire befriends Duella. Miriam arouses his senses as though he were mortal--taking him to bed and loving him with her body. He finds he is developing feelings he never imagined possible in his vampire state. But when the evil witch learns of his growing love for Miriam, she issues a threat that Duella is forced to deal with.
