In the peaceful town of Ironwood, a mysterious, darkly dressed woman answers the call for aid to watch over a farm after fears of a flying nightmare begin to circulate. Resting within a broken-roofed loft, the girl will come face to face with a monstrous creature of fable, and set in motion ripples that will continue on in her wake. Before long, the solemn traveller haunted by memories and a heavy heart will be left with more questions than answers and a hunger that only one thing can satisfy. Seeking those answers will draw her deep into Ironwood Forest, entangling her in a web of plots she cannot even begin to understand, at the mercy of monsters. The lives of common folk and the common monsters that live in peace together will change in her wake, but hers is a story in its blood beginnings. Hers is the path of a vampire's half-bred child; the Dhampyre.
