MEET THE CHARACTERS

Ezra Blackwood

Centuries-old vampire with the weary grace of a fallen angel, his pale skin a stark canvas for eyes the color of a winter storm. He moves through the modern world like a ghost in impeccably tailored dark suits, a man forever out of time, smelling of cold stone, old books, and a faint, metallic whisper of blood. The immortal curse lives in the careful distance he keeps from all things warm and living, a discipline etched into the stillness of his hands.

Luna Flores

A 24-year-old muralist whose life force radiates like a sunbeam, with wild, dark curls and skin that glows with vitality. She smells of turpentine, jasmine, and the warm, sweet scent of her own mortality—a perfume that is Ezra’s most exquisite torture. Her hands are always subtly stained with paint, and she moves with an unselfconscious energy that fills quiet spaces, leaving color in her wake.
