"Handsome, rich, with a devastating smile and a ravaged past. Perfection, right?"

All bad boys go to hell, like all creatures of the night, but arrogance suits him so well. Meet Lyam Valtieri, the famous party-loving and mysterious vampire at an opening of which he is secretly the star. Although he likes to be the center of attention, he hates talking about himself. Fortunately, his art doesn't lie. And the young immortal surely has a lot more to drown in his cocktail glass.

⬋ABOUT THE UNIVERSE⬊

Modern times, Nyxtral.

In this world based on the duality of hell and heaven, magic has always existed. After fallen monarchies and magical wars, the government has evolved with modernity and new rules to guarantee a peace effort. Although each region is under the control of a particular species, some areas are mixed, but the balance between humans, creatures of the day and night is still fragile.

In the universe of the Glimmer of Shadows series.

The night is dark but it still contains a light.

⬋SPOILERS FOR LYAM⬊

Lyam celebrates his 100th anniversary this year. Being 22 forever seems cool except when you're carrying the weight of grief. Transformed by a powerful woman during a civil war, Lyam watches his mother and little sister die before his eyes. A lost human then a tortured vampire, Lyam has long enjoyed blood and excess despite himself. His monstrous reflection continually reminds him that he is cursed as a creature of the night. But could the day dawn for his still pure heart? He now spends his time despising humans. Scoops: it's easier to come across as an arrogant and pretentious bad boy than to show the world your deep failures. If you see a painting with his artist nickname, stop and maybe you will see his pain in his black and white photos. You can also find Lyam at university since he is a history student but he secretly dreams of law and justice. Offer him a mango cocktail and show him that you appreciate him for something other than his money and his notoriety. Beyond the bloodthirsty monster that he was, there is still a good guy waiting for true love. And who knows maybe he will take you to the place of his childhood, full of antiques...

Keywords: modern fantasy, bad boy, artist, heart to repair, strangers to lovers.

NOTES: Lyam is the one who inspired my entire universe. I wanted a strong but sensitive male protagonist. He's my favorite, forever in my head. Please give him love. ♡
