Description
Synopsis of Awakened by blood In a small vintage shop, Maxell, a skilled restorer, finds himself drawn to an ancient, hauntingly beautiful painting. When a careless prick of his finger allows a single drop of blood to touch the canvas, the impossible happens: Marcus, a vampire prince cursed to be imprisoned in the artwork for over a century, awakens. Disoriented and weakened, Marcus reveals fragments of his tragic past-a betrayal that led to his entrapment and the relentless pursuit of Hunters determined to destroy him. Maxell, skeptical yet intrigued, agrees to help Marcus regain his power and uncover the truth behind the curse. What begins as a reluctant partnership evolves into a dangerous journey across hidden realms, forgotten histories, and encounters with Marcus's former allies-some loyal, others treacherous. As they piece together the mystery, an ancient prophecy emerges, binding Maxell's bloodline to the curse's origin and its undoing. Amid the peril of relentless Hunters and the looming threat of betrayal, an undeniable bond grows between the two. But their journey is fraught with difficult choices and sacrifices that test their loyalty, strength, and the fragile trust they've built. Can Marcus reclaim his power without succumbing to the darkness that once ruled him? And will Maxell's sacrifice be enough to break the curse, or will it cost him everything he holds dear-including Marcus?
