Amaryllis- A flower that symbolizes pride, strength, and determination. Those that are red specifically symbolize love, passion, and attraction, and are considered to be a lucky flower in Chinese culture.
Vampires, sea demons, fae courts, and other terrifying creatures such as these are considered plagues to Red Iron Valley. But seeing as they refuse to leave, the humans of this dangerous world have learned to leave them alone to ensure they're all safe. As a result, they all teeter along the edges of The Ancient Lands, with humans being more inclined to build homes on those edges.
Amaryllis, a young woman of unknown origins, lives in a village that has done just that and has been happy to stay there all her life. It isn't until she is given a letter from her real mother, and meets the man who rescued her, that she is eager to learn who she is. Join her on her quest, and learn what it means to be human while facing creatures that might just be more humane than most.
May The Gods Grace Your Path and Luck Be Everpresent.
Red Iron Valley awaits you.
(I'm gonna be honest, this was inspired from a shitpost on TikTok about "every vampire book ever" and I just felt it was too good to not make it real. Am I putting too much effort into a stereotype that I am actively pushing forward? Maybe. But at least I'm having fun with it. Nevertheless, I hope you all enjoy it. And yes, I'm going to give credit to the original creator. His username will be in the credits chapter and I'll even link his video.)
