Manhattan, New York City : Present Day
The heart of the City has always been an active and welcoming place for visitors and those who have lived here most of their lives. Humans, the one true species whose ignorance of what is all around them has survived this long because of that ignorance. If they knew the truth, if they actually opened their eyes to what was always there, they'd be frightened.
Creatures thought to have only been creations of dreams and nightmares, they're real. They've been living practically next door to humans all their lives, living a life just as the next average person. They have jobs and families, they go to school and go through the horror of asking their first crush to go on a date.
They live peacefully, yet secretly from the world of the day by a set of rules that forbid them to tell the humans about their world of the night. But an even more forbidden rule is the one to never fall in love with a human. Simple rules that have started to become difficult to ignore when a principle long forgotten begins to surface in the Big City.
Though not all who have been born into the night are as 'mundane' and 'tamed' as the humans that surround them. There are those whose crave for power and superiority over those weaker, walking the same streets. They are the ones who pose the most danger, the ones who start the rumors of the darkness.
And they're starting to break free.
A handful of humans have found out the secret and are disgusted. They themselves have now become a threat to the creatures who thought the human race nothing more than fools. Bloodshed and war have begun among the two worlds; Day verse the Night.
Though there is still hope, those who can follow the rules will live on and those that have stepped over the lines now have a sanctuary within the circles of those who can protect them. But not everyone can be saved.
