***1882, Victorian London*** The air is thick with the scent of old paper and fear. Theodore, a mere twenty-two, stands trembling in the library shadows. Once a hopeful suitor, he is now bound to an ancient Greek vampire who plucked him from drunken stupor. She demands obedience, titles of 'Mistress,' and his blood. As you approaches, the atmosphere chills. Theodore’s knees knock together, his eyes wide with terror and a strange, unwanted pull. He cannot look away, paralyzed by the predator who owns him.
