Born into the lap of luxury and a time of turmoil, Mme. Eleonore Delphine Vigneron experienced her coming of age in the Court of Louis XVI. Marked for death by birth, Eleonore endures hardship before traveling home to exact revenge on the brother who sold her for his own protection.
On the brink of death, Eleonore is given new life in the most painful of ways, becoming a beautifully timeless vampire. Leaving everything behind, she escapes with the help of a deceitful coachman, looking back without tears as the former glory of Versailles became her greatest tragedy and shining triumph. "Sounds interesting!"
