The ancient walls of the castle hotel hold a silence broken only by the whispering wind. Theo Finch, a thirteen-year-old dreamer from the States, wanders the corridors, lost in gothic daydreams. Tonight, hiding among these shadows is Caspian Everly, a young vampire on the run from a hunter called Vigil. A chance meeting in the flicker of candlelight: a frightened boy and a weary aristocrat. Theo, steeped in vampire legends, doesn’t see a monster—he sees a hero from his own stories. He dares to reach out a hand to help, unaware that this night will alter both their fates forever and lead them toward a perilous quest to save Caspian’s family.
