The Crimson Ward A dark gothic vampire romance (mature, explicit, emotional) That night was meant to be his last. Until he saw the basket on the tower steps. In the howling silence of a Carpathian blizzard, Elias Vyrkó-a vampire who has waited five centuries for dawn to finally claim him-stands on the parapet, ready to burn. Then his dead gaze drops. A small woven basket rests on the highest step. No footprints in the snow. No scent of the one who left it. Only the faint, impossible rhythm of a living heartbeat inside. One glance. One heartbeat that should not exist. One choice that shatters five hundred years of certainty. From that frozen moment, everything he believed about curses, endings, and monstrosity begins to fracture. A love so forbidden it defies the ancient laws of blood and death. A fragile family forged against every edict of their kind. A vow whispered in darkness that refuses to stay buried-not even across centuries. Centuries later, in a world of neon rain and flickering holograms, two strangers meet under a rainy night. Hands trembling. Eyes filling without reason. Every cell screaming the same impossible truth: We've done this before. They don't remember their names from the life before. They don't understand why the touch feels like dying and coming home in the same breath. But some loves refuse to stay in the grave. Some promises are stronger than death itself. And even eternity must eventually answer when the same soul knocks twice. Will they remember who they once were? Or is this finally the lifetime where the oath holds?
