What she slid into my veins was something else entirely. Something engineered from her own blood. The Vampire Formula. It worked. But by morning it was gone. That's when I understood the trap. Because now I needed it back. And the more I took...

Then a folded paper crane appears on the threshold of a hidden, unmapped crawlspace behind...

Sheesh... Vampires can be like children sometimes. In our quest to unite the underworld against the coming flood of darkness, a visit to Darkeum Cove was first on the list. Although I would hardly call the Noctem island a popular vacation spot, it had to be done. Uniting the underworld meant uniting everyone, and that included the same vampires who would just assume I disappeared forever. It shouldn’t have mattered one way or the other, seeing as how full authority over the underground clan was Marco’s by right. At least, that was we assumed before an official challenge to his authority...
