Noble and kindhearted King Claudius has peacefully ruled over the vampiric Rose Kingdom underneath the human country of Arone for over a century. The humans and vampire hunters alike have nearly forgotten about the existence of vampires, with the creatures clinging to the shadows and running a secret blood bank in order to survive peacefully and without violence.
However, not all vampires agree. For to hunt and kill humans is in their nature isn’t it? Claudius’ younger brother Cain certainly thinks so, and to deny them the hunt and slaughter of humans is to deny their most basic urges. With these differing opinions, Cain leaves Rose Kingdom to find his own way, driven by his fundamental beliefs into a world previously unknown to the defiant prince.
Our story begins when Cain returns, killing an innocent family before disappearing once more without a trace. King Claudius, with his ever empathetic heart, adopts Celia, the young orphan girl left behind by his brother's cruelty. With a disapproving kingdom, Claudius will fight against all odds to prove that humans and vampires can co-exist peacefully.
As Celia grows surrounded by those who are unlike her, she begins to question the nature of her origins. Claudius is left with no choice but to dig for answers to the mystery of Cain's sudden attack and disappearance. Meanwhile Celia must grow and learn how to handle herself in a kingdom of vampires. Learning how to wrestle with prejudice, self doubt, and her own humanity.
