Prologue
In the mountains north of Geneva, Switzerland a dark secret came to light, one centuries old and evil. In the quiet countryside, rumors had run rampant over the years about a demon inhabiting the area but no one had ever seen it, the legend growing over the course of six hundred years.
Grandparents told their grandchildren the story of three sisters--triplets--born in the late 14th or early 15th Century. Their mother had met a man who lured her into a world she didn't want but embraced once she learned what it meant to be vampyr. She'd been pregnant when he bewitched her and created his new toy who answered to his beckoning call. She gave birth to three daughters, all who experienced so much life in so little time. Two sisters met their ends when their creations turned on them once it became apparent exactly what had been done to their lives. The men went on, found eternal mates and blended into life wherever they chose to settle.
The third sister met her fate in another way. After keeping her existence secret by telling everyone she'd been born before them, her father walled her into a cave in the Alps, trapping her there for the remainder of her unnatural life.
"You've ruined me!" he accused. "I can't have three daughters gone bad from birth. I'm making sure one of you never wreaks havoc on..."
"But you accepted our mother's uniqueness--why not us?"
"There's nothing wrong with your mother. She had an illness and..."
"You're a fool. Don't do this. You need me!" she screamed.
The wall went up, shutting her inside the cave permanently. Having included all the precautions the local people believed would control her, he left her in the mountainside tomb.
Nearly six hundred years later, a tiny shift in the geological plates deep beneath the earth's surface cracked the wall built centuries before and, after another aftershock, it split. Released into the world with a new lease on her life, Solange fled the cave, creating havoc throughout the countryside.
She fed voraciously, regenerating herself into a beautiful and extremely strong vampyr--one whose six-hundred-year-old anger knew no boundaries--then set out to take care of the one who'd shut her away for so long. Learning he'd died twenty-five years after he imprisoned her, she still sought revenge--not only for herself but her sisters. Someone will pay and I'll make sure of it! After all, I have nothing but time on my hands.
Solange left Switzerland and spent several years becoming accustomed to the new times she found herself living in. While she enjoyed her freedom, she schemed.
