Chapter One: The Man in the Basement

"Anytime we're around humans, someone always assumes I'm Eric's daughter. It's the only thing that makes sense in their minds. And I look like I could be his daughter, with my blonde hair and blue eyes. So it's simpler to just let them believe that. Anyway, Eric never corrects them."

Eleven years ago, Eric Northman obtained an infant promised to have great psychic ability, intending to mold her into a powerful, devoted asset. But for now, she's only a child, gifted but confused about many things -- such as why there is a man chained up in her guardian's basement.
