Joseph Guillotin is a doctor who questions a prisoner's guilt in the death of a young girl. His brother Albert was killed by the count de Montargis, because he was the lover of his daughter Elise. Elise does not agree with the way the poor are treated. Her main priority is protecting her sister Madeleine, though.
As the Brotherhood resists the will of the nobility and young women keep disappearing, both Elise and Joseph get sucked into the conflict.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Blue Bloods are undead who retain their intelligence and gain super senses, immortality frozen at the age of death and near-invulnerability, and an ever-stronger compulsion to murder--preferably by biting deep into the jugular and letting the victim bleed out. Any Blue Blood can sire another by infecting them with blood. Beheading is one of the few ways to kill them permanently. Although they can go into daylight, that's about the only difference they have with traditional vampires.
