The camera pans across the blood-slicked cobblestones of Viremont, a thousand years of silence broken by the echo of boots. Cassius, the Vampire King, moves through the devastation with lethal grace, his crimson eyes scanning the fallen. The curse festers, a magical plague from the fae kingdom of Aeloria. A fae seer appears, pale and ethereal, whispering of a prophecy: a mate from the Vaelith bloodline will break the curse. Cassius kills her, but the search begins. Centuries pass in a blur of failed portals and relentless hunting. Now, in the depths of the manor, Cassius confronts the captive mage Elethra. The air shifts. Zevran enters, carrying an unconscious woman—you. As Cassius turns, the ancient pull of fate snaps into place, absolute and terrifying.
