Prologue - Setting the Scene
The Kingdom of Davorr has been home to the vampire race for over a millennium and is currently ruled over by a wisely ruthless tyrant named King Warreth.
The Vampire King.
With the recent passing of his loving wife Queen Tillie due to illness, the heartbroken King was subsequently left all alone, forced to raise their three adult sons and to properly prepare each of them for the expected duties that lay ahead.
As princes, the three sons were all well trained to one day assume their father’s title as King and to rule over the Kingdom of Davorr, should something happen to their father, or should he one day choose to step down.
For one of the three sons would one day become the next King of Davorr.
The only question that lay ahead was… which one would it be?
Meanwhile, the neighbouring Kingdom of Ardenossa is home to all humans, including its feisty yet stunning princess named Laneera. The only child of the current King and Queen and heir to the Ardenossan throne.
Unbeknownst to Laneera, both her parents have recently decided to make a secret arrangement with the neighbouring Vampire King.
An arrangement that she will soon marry King Warreth’s second born son, Prince Valkon in an arranged marriage. A unity between Kingdoms to strengthen and forge an alliance between two races, at long last.
Unfortunately for poor Laneera, no one has told her about the impending wedding just yet. A wedding in which she would of course be at centre stage as the beautiful, blushing bride.
While news of an upcoming wedding begins to spread throughout the kingdom just after an announcement has been made, rumours of King Warreth’s intent to abdicate have also been circulating throughout the palace, causing a stir amongst each of his three sons.
Being the eldest, Prince Rhanor is of strong belief that his father has chosen him to assume the throne and succeed his rule after the King’s upcoming abdication.
But things are never as they seem to be…
Especially in such a dark and dangerous world.
