Byzantium stretches a weakening grip across Eastern Europe, trying in vain to hold onto all that has made it an empire. Tyrian purple, the unique dye that denotes its power, is held under close guard by the imperial house.
However a Jewish merchant from Venice has sourced an illegal supply and Tobias the dwarf minstrel and his twin brother, Tomas, begin a dangerous journey to retrieve the purple and deliver it into the merchant’s eager hands.
But is this supply as secret as they had hoped?
Trade is cut throat, men are expendable, money is power and Constantinople provides the exotic backdrop during a time of scimitars and shadows.
This is Tobias – the story of a minstrel and a broken life…

It's been several months since Dracula was killed by his own son, Alucard. Several months since Alyx Belmont last saw her brother, Trevor, after he parted ways with her to embark on new adventures with the Speaker magician, Sypha Belnades. And several months since Alyx first agreed to live with Alucard in the castle that was his childhood home, right above her old childhood home, the Belmont estate. Most of their time living together has been morose, quiet. During the day, Alucard is observant, soft-spoken, sometimes hardly saying a word. Some would say even mournful. But during the night, their evenings are filled with passion, tangled in the sheets with kisses and sweet nothings. During the night, Alyx and Alucard come alive with the flames of their newfound romance. The half-vampire and the human monster hunter. But when a pair of human twins come knocking at their door, telling tales of their escape from a former member of Dracula's old war court... their relative peace is shattered as Alyx Belmont and Alucard "Adrian" Tepes are pulled again into a war that they didn't ask for. (this fanfiction also contains special content from the last episode of the newly released Castlevania: Nocturne, which takes place 300 years after the events of Castlevania: Season 4)
