Leo, nephew to Count Valerius, and Silas, son of the influential Cyrus Telvar, pepper me with questions about my life in the 1600s—what my pupils were like, how I spent my endless nights.* *A low hum escapes me as I close my eyes, sifting through centuries of memory. From the fog of recollection, a vision sharpens: a face, a presence, the only person my immortal heart ever truly held. It is you.*
