Seemingly natural enemies, (vampire killer vs. vampire) they swear to kill each other – but only once they have finished with the naturi. The malicious naturi have returned from their banishment to open the seal that kept them from returning to earth and re-enslaving all of the weres of the world. The Triad used Mira to seal them away, and now the naturi need Mira to open it for them so that their Queen may once again pass through to feed upon Earth's exposed energies. It is believed that since one of the Triad is dead that the ceremony cannot be performed, but as attempts at the ceremony continue, doubts climb. The death toll of both vampires and naturi around the world climb as the pagan calendar continues, and both sides hurry to find the site of the seal before it is too late to prevent disaster.
