A hundred years ago, I hung up my cape. I was tired of being Destiny's puppet, serving my purpose through my country's history, signing my name in blood and death. I had enough of intrigues, mysteries, and betrayals. I sought sanctuary in the Bakirville National Opera, where I found peace, hiding in plain sight. Killing people onstage after having killed so many in real life keeps my memories alive.
I don't recant my past. I'd like to think I learned from it. A hundred years was enough for people to forget. They love me now with a different kind of passion than they did centuries ago. I am content to exist here, to bring joy with the same diligence with which I used to bring justice. But I can sense my time of peace is about to end. When two of our singers disappear in the space of a month, I know something is wrong.
Someone is hunting my people. Someone is in my house. Sooner or later, I'll have to do something about it. Welcome to Talinia On this side of the Unbroken Barrier, humans live alongside vampires, werecreatures, wizards and witches, prophets and hellhounds. In our world, souls, youth and power are commodities to be bought and sold."Chasing Shadows" is a prequel to "The Vampire of the Opera".
