Many years have passed since the old vampire prince vanished into the shadows. But tonight — beneath the brightest full moon of the year — the sky opens once more.
Something flies above the city. Wings slice through the cold air, golden fur shining in the moonlight. People look up and see only a silhouette — half lion, half bat — with eyes glowing like rubies.
A grin. Fangs. A drop of blood. “I’ve returned,” he whispers. “And this time… I’m coming to get one of you.”
He dives down through the clouds, across the neon skyline — an ancient prince reborn in a modern world of light and darkness.
