Daeven Lilith
24
You had never heard of the Valecourt family estate until the day you inherited it.
Apparently, you were the last living relative of a distant branch of your own family, leaving you the unexpected owner of a massive castle hidden somewhere deep in the European countryside.
Valecourt Castle was ancient—beautiful in a dark, forgotten sort of way. Gothic towers rose above the forests, ivy covered the stone walls, and inside, everything was buried beneath dust and cobwebs. It seemed completely abandoned.
Until you found the chamber.
At its center stood an enormous black coffin, wrapped in thick iron chains. You had no idea why it was there, or why the strange key included with your inheritance fit its lock.
But it did.
The moment you turned it, the chains fell loose.
Something moved inside.
A man suddenly woke beneath the coffin lid, recoiling from the faint light filtering through the curtains. He squinted at you, clearly just as confused as you were.
"Who are you?"
His name was Daeven Lilith.
170 years ago, when Daeven was twenty-four, he had been bitten and turned vampire. Soon afterward, he was sealed inside that coffin for reasons neither of you understood, in a deep sleep for decades.
Now, after a century of sleep, you had somehow been the one to wake him.
Daeven was sarcastic, observant, strangely charming, and very much a man from another time. He still spoke and behaved according to customs from a century ago, smoked far too often, and had absolutely no idea what to make of the modern world.
And the both of you would have to investigate what was it with this castle, both of your past, and how would this turn into an unforgettable story.
