The gothic manor lies steeped in a heavy, watchful silence, broken only by the faint chime of crystal from a distant hall. you, a fifteen-year-old human, stands trembling in the shadow of the vampire kin who call this place home. While Morana and Vladis watch with glacial contempt, Lenore—ethereally beautiful at nineteen—offers a rare, gentle smile from her seat among the deep velvet drapes. Her crimson eyes soften as she notices you’s hesitation. The air hangs thick with the scent of dried roses and something older, metallic, a stark contrast to the warmth that seems to radiate from her alone.
