Alaric’s fingers traced the worn edges of an ancient grimoire, its pages whispering secrets of forbidden power. His coven’s warnings echoed in his mind: vampires were cursed, dangerous, untouchable.

The pull was irresistible—he had to know if the cursed flame of their existence could be kindled, not feared.
