Veins of Crimson (Completed)
In a remote village nestled between misty mountains, Vespera, an innocent and sheltered young woman, lives a simple life as an only child raised by her overprotective mother. Plagued by vivid dreams of a faceless man with piercing eyes who whispers her name, Vespera feels an inexplicable connection to this stranger. Unbeknownst to her, these dreams are not ordinary-they are visions tied to an ancient curse that binds her soul to an immortal vampire.
Lucifer, a centuries-old vampire, has spent his endless life haunted by a prophecy foretelling that his soulmate will awaken his humanity-but only at a cost that could destroy them both. Bound to Vespera by fate, Lucifer has visited her dreams for years, unable to reveal himself. The vampire world forbids love with humans, and their bond defies the natural order, threatening the fragile balance between the mortal and immortal realms.
When Vespera stumbles into the forbidden woods and encounters Lucifer in a rare moment of vulnerability, she feels an uncanny familiarity, as though she's known him her whole life. Drawn to her innocence and warmth, Lucifer breaks his own rules and begins to protect her from the shadows, all while hiding his true nature.
But their connection unleashes a chain reaction, summoning dark forces that have been hunting Lucifer for centuries-creatures even more ancient and powerful than vampires. As Vespera uncovers the truth about her dreams, her soul's connection to Lucifer, and the cost of their love, she must decide whether to embrace a love destined to defy eternity or sever their bond to save the world as she knows it.
