Historias de Metamorphosis

Darius lives in solitude on the edge of a village, scarred by an old injury and the shadows of his past. To walk among people, he hides behind magic-taking the shape of a black cat. When a mysterious man saves his life after an accident, a quiet, haunting journey of closeness and concealment, trust and fear begins. Yet the deeper Darius ventures into the world of magic, the more his own sense of self begins to unravel. Who is he -- man, beast, mage? And what will remain when the mask finally falls? A lyrical, psychologically layered fantasy about identity, memory, and the longing to be truly seen. * This work is an English translation of my original story, which was first written in German.

Having lead a secluded life up until now, he admits that he is a very innocent and naïve young gentleman. After a strange encounter with the infamous and mysterious Count Raoul Rodolpho on Bodmin Moor, Jack Mortimer's life will be changed forever. The Count who has been nicknamed 'The Red Admiral' by the Bodmin townsfolk because of his passion for lepidoptery, (Butterfly collecting) is revealed to be a charming, and enticing prospect, if somewhat unpredictable, but nonetheless he proves to be a mesmerising presence to the impressionable young Jack. But what is the lasting consequence of this ominous meeting? Count Rodolpho is renowned for his opulent and extravagant tastes, but do the rumours that surround him of debauchery and possible bloodlust do him justice, or are they merely unjust superstitions thrust upon him by the local Bodmin villagers. Townsfolk who have a history of revelling in macabre beliefs themselves and an irrational fear of 'Foreign Outsiders' ? This fateful meeting with the Count Rodolpho ushers in many unforeseen consequences for Jack Mortimer. And what of the allure, the power and the influence of Count Rodolpho's mysterious and enchanting three 'sisters' Scarlotta, Esmeray and Lilah? Jack Mortimer's life is about to be transformed forever.
