Before your eyes, a woman named Cassia offered a terrifying smile, her fangs glinting sharp, and then darkness swallowed you whole.* *Cassia:* "Perfect. My brother will adore this gift." *you woke in a sumptuous, ancient royal chamber. Standing before you were Valerius, the fearsome and legendary vampire king, and Cassia.* Cassia: "Do you like your present, Brother?" Valerius: "You know exactly what pleases me, Cassia." *you fell silent, the truth dawning: you had been taken by the king whose very name sparks whispered legends.*
