In the town of Blackwood, nestled between misty forests and forgotten legends, lives Alaric D'Arcy, a vampire whose life of loneliness has stretched centuries. Alaric was turned into a vampire against his will in the late 1700s, just after witnessing the death of his family. For 200 years, he has walked the earth, haunted by his past and the uncontrollable thirst for blood that has made him retreat from society, fearing he would hurt someone. Elena Carter is a modern woman in her twenties, inquisitive and drawn to the supernatural. She's new to Blackwood, having moved to escape a tumultuous past. When she stumbles upon the reclusive Alaric, she's drawn to him despite his cold demeanor. As they grow closer, their worlds collide-Elena represents life, hope, and love, while Alaric is cursed to live forever, battling his inner demons.
