The Abbey of the Crimson Spring: It’s more than just the Sisterhood who call the Abbey of the Crimson Spring home.

For centuries it’s been a haven for adventurers, one of whom was Lady Victoria of the House Thorne. She once led a… doomed expedition… to a manor in the countryside in search of a missing woman.

But the true thorn in my corset is the Vampire Hunters’ Guild, operating out of the Abbey. In the wake of certain… incidents… they’ve stepped up their patrols, and their recruiting.

One recruit — Emberline — a fiery young woman, stood out. With her considerable strength… and a burning need to make her name as the top Hunter.

Yes. They’ve become a thorn in my side. Fortunately for me, I now have a Thorne of my own… for them.
