Aurelia is dead.  Has been for centuries, ever since a witch cursed her in Medieval Italy.  On the (sort of) bright side, she wasn't cursed alone; there's Audria, her melancholy best friend and former courtesan, Alessandro, the cocky and permanently upbeat nobleman-turned-club owner, Mirella, who was too young to be with them when they were cursed and doesn't seem to have grown up any, and Dante, the quiet but brilliant former peasant whose good looks and intelligence brought him into their circle over half a millenium ago.  Others were cursed as well, of course, but people tend to grate on each other's nerves after a few centuries.  

The one person who Aurelia never expected to see again, though, is Ezio, former count of the lost state of Rescigne, and the man who was the catalyst that brought the curse upon them in the first place.  When Aurelia finds out why he's really found her after all this time, she realizes she has two choices--to keep living as she has been for hundreds of years, or to take a chance on a myth that could change all of their lives.

The Hound

65 parts Complete

Antique store owner Liz brings home a Victorian taxidermy hound from auction, unwittingly unleashing dark forces on her wife and son. ***** Nat Loman has finally married the love of her life, Liz, and is getting used to her role as stepmother to Liz's 5-year-old son, Liam. The Loman family runs a bustling antique business so they attend a sale where a striking, black taxidermied hound is up for auction. Liz picks it up for the business, but it ends up being stored in their home, where Nat notices strange things occurring. She quickly discovers the past residents had died violently. Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside. Soon, people around the Lomans are dying, and Liz is changing, darkening. It's up to Nat to save the woman she loves from the darkness closing in, and to save Liam from danger no matter what she has to sacrifice.
