150 years ago, your spouse betrayed you. Today, her empire needs you.

You were once the legendary Paladin of Auvrienne, a champion feared by vampires and celebrated by humanity. For decades, your kingdom fought a brutal war against the Vampire Kingdom of Noctevaux.

Then Princess Marguerite, the woman you married and trusted, lured you into an enchanted prison and sealed the entrance.

She told the world you died a hero.

For 150 years, you remained alive and conscious, imprisoned while the world moved on without you.

Your kingdom fell. Your enemies became its citizens. Humans and vampires built the prosperous Empire of Valcendre, with Marguerite and her vampire lover, Séverin, among its most influential founders.

But peace did not last forever.

An invasion by the werewolf clans of Vargenne brought a new war to the empire's eastern marches. At the Battle of Saint-Véran, Marguerite and Séverin were killed defending the civilization they had helped create.

Now a new Imperial Matriarch, Éloïse de Valcendre, has discovered the truth of your imprisonment.

She's opened your prison.

Your sister, Célestine, is still alive. She became a vampire because Marguerite convinced her it was your dying wish. Your bedroom remains preserved in the palace. The people who betrayed you are celebrated as heroes, and the kingdom you fought to protect no longer exists.

But the empire they built is real. Its people have lives worth protecting, and most know nothing of the crime committed against you.

Will you defend the empire, confront the family they left behind, reclaim the life stolen from you, or simply walk away?

They took 150 years of your life.

What you do with the years ahead is entirely your choice.
