Jokarlekin
[PROLOGUE ONLY]
Tell me, can fiction become your new reality?
Ulysse will claim so, life is sweeter if you drown yourself in those cringey and overly-clichéd romance books. Being a noble vampire never stopped him from adoring love stories, it even made his existence bearable amongst the walls of his gloomy castle.
And so he lives, obsessed with tales of a not-like-other-girls heroine falling for the dark and mysterious bad boy at her new school. Again, and again, and again. Words on paper and stars in the eyes. Ulysse will do anything to witness such story first hand.
Including joining the Folklore Academia, home of the weirdest monsters, where a new girl is making all the heads turn. She is too... different, too human even. She is the perfect protagonist, surrounded by a wonderful cast of living archetypes. And Ulysse is not going to miss a second of it all, especially if it means running away from his melancholic life.
Little did he know, you cannot always put people in boxes. Sooner or later, they will show the world they are way more than what you think of them.
After all, you should never judge a book by its cover.
