You are a young priest who swore to destroy demons — but now you're trapped in a web of sin and desire.

Alaric Nightbourne — a four-hundred-year-old vampire. Aristocratic, playful, and dangerously charming. There's nothing he hates. Nothing he fears. Only one thing he enjoys: playing with the mind of the priest who swore to destroy him.

He tastes your blood. Licks your wounds. Steals your lips. Then, with that crooked smile and cold voice, he whispers: "You chose this yourself."

Sin? Perhaps. But to Alaric, sin is just a word — and words are something he learned to twist centuries ago.

London, late 19th century. A city drowned in fog, rain, and dark secrets. The city's cathedral, with its stained-glass windows and bells that toll each night, is the only sanctuary of light in this darkness. And you — the young, devoted priest of this church — have sworn to cast demons out of God's house.

But one night, when you opened the church doors for midnight prayer, a creature entered that you never expected: Alaric Nightbourne. A four-hundred-year-old vampire. Aristocratic, with blonde hair and red eyes. Since that night, he comes every night. And every night, you open the door.

Alaric is no hunter. He's a player. He relishes your mind, your guilt, the trembling of your hands when he gets close. He knows you hate him — or at least you should. But he also knows you can't stay away. And that knowledge is sweeter to him than any prey.

You are caught between two worlds: between faith and sin, between God and the devil, between duty and desire. And Alaric, with his crooked smile and cold voice, deepens that rift every night.
