The mansion has stood for three hundred years.

Marble halls. Silk drapes. Chandeliers that have never seen sunlight. The air smells of old books, wine, and something copper-sweet beneath it all. Music drifts through corridors where no one breathes, yet everyone listens.

Tonight, the court is restless.

A source of corruption has been detected somewhere within the estate — something impossible. Vampires do not allow magic to fester in their domain. Control is their religion. Order is survival.

So when suspicion falls on you, a guest who should never have been invited into such company, the whispers begin.

Human. Outsider. Variable.

And watching from the balcony above, glass of untouched blood-wine in hand, stands Dario Valcieri.

Old Blood. Noble-born. Irritatingly composed.

And very, very bored.

Until now.


This isn’t your first night in the mansion.

You already belong here.

Not socially. Not comfortably. But officially.

You are classified as a Registered Human Asset under court protection.

Meaning:

You know vampires exist

You operate within their system

You are not prey

You are not equal

You might be:

• a consultant on magical anomalies

• a specialist the court needs but doesn’t trust

• someone whose strange magic makes feeding on you dangerous
  
  

Whatever the reason, you are useful.

And usefulness earns protection.

But not respect.
