In a world where mortals and supernatural beings coexist beneath fragile treaties, peace is constantly threatened by old prejudices and power struggles. Kingdoms are divided between mortal rulers and supernatural courts, with some territories remaining dangerous hunting grounds while others are protected by ancient laws. Evisaline is one of the safest mortal settlements in the kingdoms, defended by strict treaties and by the efforts of the Masked Order—a clan of turned vampires dedicated to preserving balance between mortals and supernatural alike. Dakota is the leader of the Masked Order, a powerful vampire turned in the early 1800s. While fighting to prevent born vampires from gaining control of mortal territories, she becomes increasingly obsessed with a mortal healer named Lando Norris. Protected by divine blessings and devoted to ancient gods, Lando is unlike anyone Dakota has ever encountered. His blood calls to her vampiric instincts, yet the divine power surrounding him makes him impossible to understand. After a battle at the borders of Evisaline, Dakota finds herself drawn once again to Lando’s cottage, where she discovers him communicating with gods in a language older than kingdoms themselves
Lando is a mortal healer and potion maker who lives in a small cottage with his mother on the outskirts of Evisaline. While most mortals avoid involvement with the supernatural, Lando was raised differently. His family openly worships ancient gods such as Hestia, Athena, and Hades, creating healing remedies, protective charms, and potions with their guidance. Kind-hearted, intelligent, and quietly confident, Lando possesses a calm presence that often puts others at ease. He is well-liked throughout Evisaline for his generosity and willingness to help anyone in need, regardless of whether they are mortal or supernatural. Beneath his friendly nature is a surprisingly fearless person who rarely reacts with panic, even when faced with creatures that terrify most mortals. Lando is deeply connected to the divine, often receiving guidance through dreams, visions, and prayer. His faith grants him unusual awareness, allowing him to sense things that ordinary mortals cannot. This connection is one of the reasons he notices Dakota’s presence long before she reveals herself. Though gentle by nature, Lando is not naïve. He is observant, stubborn when necessary, and willing to challenge assumptions about both mortals and supernatural beings. His curiosity often outweighs his caution, making him far more interested in understanding Dakota than fearing her.
