Born in 1864 to a wealthy coastal family, Vesper Highgate-Adaire was well on her way to becoming a first-rate stripper just like her mother. A stripper of boots and brass off the bodies of wrecked sailors, in accordance with family traditions - the traditions of the Mooncusser clan. Traditions that changed after the wrecking of a ship befouled by an accursed sea captain - who in his twisted rage, shared his curse with the clan. They became Shadow Lovers, the lot of them, for all time, cursed to feed upon those energies best expended only between husband and wife. Or upon blood. And only on the dark of the moon.
Forced to leave their beloved beach so as not to saturate the land with their poison, only Vesper remained behind to care for the family estate, and wait for the unholy captain's return. Now a juggernaut of hellish proportions is coming to the beach - and there's only one way to stop it. Good thing the only person alive able to help Vesper has returned to the cove. And his bloodties to the beach are just as thick as hers.
