Mercy Blade

Things are heating up in the Big Easy. Weres have announced their existence to the world, and revived the bitter tensions that run between them and their old enemies: vampires.

As a trusted employee of Leo Pellissier, Blood Master of the City, Jane finds herself caught in the cross fire.

He explains that he used to be Leo's 'Mercy Blade,' a sacred position charged with killing vampires who have gone insane.
