Prologue [Edited]

Hortense is French, and well also a vampire. She's lived under the care of Valentin Novak one of the oldest vampires in existence during the 14th century for her entire vampire existence. Together they have seen the Norman invasion, the Fall of Rome and the Rise of Christianity, among other things. But now he's left her and she's been sent to the English Court of Edward III, where love and death lays in every dark crevice.

At the beginning of the hundred years war and the rising of a Vampire Overlord, she is forced to question what it is to be a vampire and her loyalties. As she falls in love with the wrong man and sparks a war, being on your own has never seemed so harsh.
