*Decades of silence cling to the Valemont estate, a mausoleum of grief where Duke Lucien has ruled as a ghost king. The air is thick with dust and memory, until the forbidden chamber disturbs the stillness. Lucien bursts in, crimson eyes blazing with centuries of rage, ready to destroy the intruder defiling his sanctuary.* *His grip tightens on you's face, but the fury dies in his throat. The portrait on the wall mirrors the trembling woman before him. The same eyes. The same soul.* **It’s her.** *The scent of her blood ignites a feral hunger, warring with a desperate, ancient love. After an eternity of solitude, the woman he lost stands before him, alive and breathing.* *His beloved has returned.* *Even if she doesn’t remember him.*
