The Green-Eyed Devil

Some beings come into existence plain and simply evil, its nature’s way of balancing out the universe. For every angel, there must be a demon. For every act of good, there must be an act of malice. For there to be a god, there must be a devil.

For over four hundred years, the vampire Jasmine aimlessly went through life killing at will. On a foggy day in the early 1920s London, she came across a very pissed off mystic, on account of murdering the last of his human blood line, and found herself in a life or death battle. Jasmine barely defeated the powerful mystic, named Myron, before draining his blood and power inside of her.

Jasmine later found out that Myron was the leader of The Council of Immortals, a government of sorts for supernatural creatures, and they have put a bounty on her head, making her number one on The League of Venators, the Council’s trained warriors, hit list.

After eighty years of being hunted by the Venators, and feared by the other Children of Malevolence, Jasmine befriended a young mystic named Angelica, who Jasmine saved from a pack of werewolves. The Council learned of Jasmine’s affections for Angelica and decided to use Angelica as a tool to capture Jasmine.

The Council kidnapped Angelica, and offered Jasmine a trade, her life for Angelica’s life. Jasmine accepted the deal. She was tried and found guilty by the Council. Her punishment: two centuries of torture before being burned to death.

Three years into her sentence, Jasmine is taken before the Council Presidents and given a proposition. A very dangerous threat has returned to cause panic in the Council. The ancient god Apollo has converted countless Children of Malevolence into his legion. The Council presidents offer Jasmine an opportunity to escape the fires waiting for her, along with a way out for Angelica, who is serving a century imprisonment. If Jasmine refuses the offer, the presidents threaten to kill Angelica. Reluctantly, Jasmine accepts their offer to hunt down the ancient god Apollo, with the help of three Venators. A vampire named Alexis, a lycanthrope named Raffaele and a mystic named Cayman.

Now the fate of the world lies in the hands of a creature known as the green-eyed devil!
