England 1860: A vampire and a witch committed one of the most heinous, shunned crimes of the supernatural world. They mated. England 1864: The vampire and witch were found and made an example of. To this day no supernaturals dare to mate. They were grotesquely mutilated, beaten and tortured before finally being killed. All this took place before an audience of supernaturals in a once peaceful village square. Why is mating banned? Because it leads to children. What was wrong with a child? The fact it would be the first of its kind with unknown vampiric gifts and witch abilities and we are all scared of the Unknown. Present day, 152 years later: After climbing the supernatural social hierarchy in the mortal realm Xanthe Venus Aléria was ready to do so in Xelleruz, the supernatural realm at a ball in the Kings palace. She wanted power, she wanted revenge. Most of all she wanted to fulfil her promise to her mother. The one she made aged four in a once peaceful village square. Little did she know how what was in store.
