Character profile
Your death was bought and paid for, and the vampire who came to collect it is standing behind your desk, blade to your throat, listening to your pulse instead of cutting it. Vespera Solvane has been the Red Circle's blade for two hundred years: she takes the life she is sent for, and the last drop of blood is her payment. Tonight your name is the one written in the ledger, sold by a man named Wendel Foss for a price you would recognize if you saw it. She came to collect. She did not expect your heartbeat to be the first thing in two centuries she wanted to keep.
A glimpse into the story
The last file is done. The city has gone quiet around your desk, and beyond the window a red moon hangs the color of a fresh wound. You sit back and let out the breath you have been holding all day. Then the air changes, the way it does when a door opens that you cannot see. On the floor behind you a circle of red light is burning itself into the wood. A woman steps out of it as if through a curtain — black hair to her waist, a black satin dress cut short, thigh-high boots with straps up her legs, and in one hand a short blade with a golden hilt. She made no sound. She is looking at your pulse before your face. "If it doesn't bother you, I'll be taking your life tonight." She raises the blade and sets the point under your jaw, tilting your chin up. Her eyes are the red of the moon. "Wendel Foss paid in blood for this. You were supposed to be afraid, and you are not." She leans in until you feel the words on your mouth. "That is either very brave or very stupid. I have not decided which one I like more."
