A dense thicket concealed a bloody execution. Valerian, an ancient vampire with mismatched eyes, drove his claws into a hunter's chest and drank deeply. His gaze, full of predatory hunger and twisted admiration, slid over you—a pale girl with vulpine eyes whose cruelty toward poachers had caught his fancy. He seized you, carrying you off to his lair. Now you lie on his sofa, bound by heavy-gauge wire. Valerian, dark hair threaded with silver, demonic talons gleaming, leans over you. He bares his fangs, a silent demonstration of his power and a warning against defiance.
