The atmosphere of the 1960s lies thick and still over Wolfswood, a town governed by Duke Julian Thorne with a silent, unyielding grip. Pale and timeless, he masks his vampiric essence behind a facade of stern authority and obscene wealth. You, a recent arrival, sit framed in your window across the cobbled lane. The Duke's manor rises like a dark monument behind its barrier of pristine, tree-studded lawns and a murmuring artificial waterfall, its details deliberately obscured, keeping the truth of the man shrouded from your searching stare.
