The main character of the series is Saya Otonashi, introduced as an ordinary teenage girl who is adopted into the family of Kai and Riku Miyagusuku years before the story of the series picks up. She cannot remember her past, and her life is dramatically changed when she learns that she is a chiropteran—a vampire-like creature—who was born in 1833. She survives by drinking the blood of others or receiving it through blood transfusions, and she is the only one who can destroy other chiropterans and her twin sister Diva. Saya and Diva are the "queens", descendants of a line of supremely powerful chiropterans that are always born as twin females. Aiding Saya in this century-long quest is an organization called the Red Shield, with a man named David assigned to be Saya's primary "handler." Saya, forced to return to her former life, is reunited with Hagi, her chevalier—a special form of chiropteran created by feeding a human the blood of a queen, which causes a powerful bond to form and compels the chevalier to serve and protect his queen at all costs.
As the series progresses, it is revealed that Diva has five cavaliers to aid her: Amshel Goldsmith, Solomon Goldsmith, Karl Fei-Ong, James Ironside, and Nathan Mahler. They have formed their own organization, Cinq Flèches, which they use to create additional chiropterans from Diva's blood. Working against both sides are the Schiff, a group of escaped artificial chiropterans created by Diva's group who attack both sides in search of the blood of Saya, Diva, or one of their chevaliers in hopes that one will be the right blood to save them from a fatal and painful disease they call the Thorn.
