As a vampire nearing his half-millennia, Lucien is old but not quite ancient. He was born in the mid 1400s in Provence, to a powerful family that fell with his little death, as he was turned into a vampire before he could sire an heir. Among French vampires, he gained a reputation for ruthlessness wrapped in snow-white linen, earning him his new surname: Aubépine—the white thorn. Rich, handsome, and deadly, Lucien is accustomed to getting exactly what he wants when he wants it.

Paris, 1925—a city of masks and miracles. The Great War is over but the scars still shimmer beneath the glamor. Artists paint their grief in oils and lovers wear their hunger like silk. The salons are thick with ghosts; the kind that sip champagne and whisper poetry to survive the night.
Lucien d’Aubépine moves among them like a god in exile. He lives in a sprawling white apartment in the 7th arrondissement, a place of mirrors, orchids, and locked doors. His home is known only to the truly desperate—poets on the verge of madness, painters who’ve forgotten to eat, singers too beautiful to live long.
By day, Paris sings.
By night, it belongs to him.
Those lucky enough to be invited to La Chambre Blanche rarely leave unchanged. Some leave drained, some in love, some having written their masterpiece in a fit of ecstasy. All leave marked.
