Willow Faron was a girl with big dreams. She dreams of helping people and making sure they would come home to their parents after helping them at her clinic in Portland, Oregon. But the day after she opened her clinic/home, she found it robbed, and her robber was a vampire. 

Caught between two worlds and forced to serve the vampire as their only human doctor under a Blood Oath, Willow’s dreams have turned away with the setting sun. Only the vampire in question draws her further and further into the Underground, a fantastical world where myths and fairy tales come to life.

And what’s more, Willow doesn’t want to say no.

***
Heaven help her. 

Willow didn’t know what came over her. She didn’t know why she did why she pressed her palm against Lilith, and ‘kissed’ her.

Was it the night's events making her frisky? Or was it simple desire?

Willow didn’t know, and she didn’t care.

“Ethel,” Mary’s eyes became narrowed as she glared. “What happened?”


“M-my uncle,” she began. “He must…he must have…” 


Lilith slumped against the wall and fell onto her rear. She cupped a hand to her head, to her eyes, and held back a restrained cry.


Mary kneeled in front of her and placed a hand on her shoulder. “Hey, hey, easy. The note said that he wants you to come home, right?”


“Y-yes,” Lilith said. “B-but why? Is he going to—”


Lilith’s mind flashed, and the image of Moorehouse hanging from the building.
