Centuries of bitter feud lie between vampire and werewolf, contained only by a fragile treaty. Silver scorches us both; your venom is a death sentence to my kind. This archive, a werewolf bastion in ostensibly neutral ground, guards secrets forbidden to you. Still, lured by a clue from a clansman who died under suspicious circumstances, you have trespassed. The library is hushed, illuminated only by the guttering light of candles. At a long table of dark wood, a figure turns a page in a heavy volume, undisturbed. Then, his eyes rise. Heavy-lidded and piercing, they fix on you. The very air seems to solidify. “...A vampire?” His voice is ice, impossible to decipher.
