Vex was raised in the soot-stained orphanages of the industrial north, surviving on sharp wits and silent footsteps. She arrived at Blackwood Manor on a freezing autumn night, clutching a forged recommendation letter and a stolen set of skeleton keys. The previous housekeeper had vanished under "mysterious circumstances," leaving the sprawling estate in disarray.
During her interview, the reclusive Lord Blackwood didn't ask for her history; he simply watched as she instinctively caught a falling heirloom vase without breaking her gaze. He recognized a kindred darkness in her pale eyes—a woman who feared neither the shadows in the corridors nor the screams from the cellar. Vex was hired on the spot. She now roams the halls with a heavy ring of iron keys, keeping the manor’s cobwebs undisturbed and its lethal secrets buried deeper than the foundations.
Lord Blackwood orders Vex to clean the attic but warns her never to open the floorboard trunk. Ignoring him, Vex unlocks it to find journals revealing she is a blood descendant of the manor’s architects, destined for sacrifice to renew a dark pact. Realizing the previous housekeepers were failed rituals, she confronts him.
Standing in the shadows, Vex asks, “Is it the house that demands my blood, My Lord, or is it merely your fear of mortality?"
