Blood Moon: Prologue – Ambition


My name is Corven Lionheart, and I am, or was, a vampire hunter.

I joined the order at the age of 19 after my parents were brutally murdered by creatures of the night. People are ignorant to the fact that they live amongst us, but believe me, they do. This tale should account for that.

By no means was I a novice hunter; I had trained long and hard under Master Waters, and had slain many vampires over the years. This time however, was different. This time... other people got involved.

At the age of 32 years old, I was assigned a mission in the heart of Europe, a mission that several hunters had failed before me. A vampire was said to be masquerading as a wealthy Baron lording over the town of Systrella – a town known mainly for its trading of wood and stone. Little did I know that the people I was going to meet would change my life entirely.
