In a city that never sleeps, an evil has awakened...

It's been ten years since the Blue Bloods vampires vanquished Lucifer, and the Coven has enjoyed relative peace and prosperity under their ardent new leader, Oliver Hazard-Perry.

That is, until Hell's Bells start ringing.

Pentagrams are appearing all over New York City and Oliver can't help but fear their ominous presence. These harbingers of doom are bringing back memories of the Great War, but this time, no one is letting the warning signs go unnoticed.

Then a human teenager is found murdered in the subway tunnels under the city with a pentagram drawn in blood above her body, and the vampire secret police suspect the unthinkable: she was killed by one of their own, a horrifying breach of their code. Venator Ara Scott believes this could only point to a conspiracy designed to unravel the victory they fought so hard to win, and she'll do anything to stop it.

Meanwhile, Mimi Martin is learning the hard way that Hell doesn't necessarily make for a hot marriage. After leaving her husband behind to trade fire and brimstone for Chardonnay and Broadway, she's finding that life without Kingsley might be its own kind of inferno. Plus, there's that incessant ringing in her ears...

And Oliver is not willing to let anything get in the way of being officially crowned Regis at the newly revived Four Hundred Ball. This is his chance to give himself fully to the community he's sworn to protect, and to officially devote himself to his human familiar, Finn Chase. Perception, though, does not always lead to reality.

Living between Heaven and Hell, love and death, life and blood...

Welcome to the new Blue Bloods Coven.
