The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

A humanoid race called the Monère came to Earth from the moon 4,000 years ago—the "children of the moon" are ruled by "Queens," rare females whose ability to pull down the moon's rays allows them to heal rapidly and live 300 years.

Long exiled from the Moon, the men of the Monere serve - and mate with - imperious Queens who can channel the rays of their far-off homeland. Gryphon believes that Mona Lisa is a Queen, but her introduction to the night-time court of the Monere, simmering with intrigue, casual lust and calculated cruelty is far from smooth. The other Queens are infuriated by Mona's potential and are all menaced by a group of rogue males. Even as she battles threats from within and without, Mona Lisa is determined to discover who she is and to explore her growing powers - and secret desires.
