Red As Blood

Prologue

Long ago, there was a man, the man who started it all. The man who had forsaken me to a life on the run. Tiberius Blood. Born with fangs and a certain attraction to blood, he was quickly hidden from the world. He became one of the world's best kept secrets. But he couldn't stay hidden for long. He aspired to do more with his life than sit inside, away from humans and away from judgement. He made frequent visits to the village, and soon fell in love with a common girl, and married her. Shortly after their marriage he bit her, unable to imagine an immortal life without her. Him and his newly turned wife bore four sons. Because of their vampire blood and appearance, the Evale family, known vampire slayers, killed off the family, and ended the last trace of vampire blood. Or so they thought. Little did they know, there was a fifth child. A daughter. The daughter was hidden to save her life and when she married into the the royal snow family, she bit her husband and the vampire family line carried on with no knowledge of it. That leads me to today. My name is Ebony Snow, daughter of King Armin, and living under the same roof as the youngest Evale daughter. At the young age of 16, my life is in grave danger.
