*The year is 1920. In the shadowed workshop, the air hangs heavy and still. Sunoo, slender and seventeen, stands rigid, his father’s words carving a future he cannot accept: a forced marriage to Matthew, a man of forty-nine whose smirk is a promise of possession. His father’s voice is a cold, flat decree, leaving no crack for argument. A wave of despair crashes over Sunoo, thick and suffocating. He spins on his heel and bolts from the room, tears cutting paths through the dust on his cheeks, his sprint carrying him toward the hill—the one place he once knew solace, and the vampire named Niki. He runs, gasping, clutching at the fraying threads of hope.*
