Title – "William Pain – Vampire Detective"

Premise – Story takes place in the late 14th century England in a small village of Arborhaven. At the northern-most edge of the village is the gothic-style Castle Talon. The castle has a moat as well as thick stone crenellated walls and gargoyles everywhere.

Most of the residents of the town and many that work in the castle are human but the Royal Family of Talon as well as their advisors and guards are Vampire. The House of Talon is the oldest and most respected Vampire clan in the known world.

In this little remote village humans and Vampires have been living in peace and harmony for centuries. By day, the humans guard the Royal Family and by night the Vampire guard protects the village and all its residents.

Life is good and prosperous in Arborhaven and the Princess is about to come of age. Princess Antoinetta Talon is one of the fairest and loveliest young ladies in allthe world but because of a Talon Family ancient rule – The Princess must marry a prince from another Vampire Clan to keep the Royal Vampire bloodline pure.

The Princess can also be arrogant, mean, opinionated, obstinate, stubborn and hideously jealous – but she looks smashing in a formal satin gown!

William Pain is the son of the Royal Keeper of the Archives – The Talon Family Royal Library. He is (once he is older) considered by most rather handsome being taller than average with a pleasant face and a ready smile – He can also be a bit on the wimpy side.

In his youth, William spends most of his time with his father deep within the bowls of Castle Talon (even though they live in the village) and his first encounter with the Princess was when he was 8. He didn’t like her pushy, bossy demeanor and was slightly afraid of her (even though she was quite small then)

As they grew up, however, they became best friends. (Well, the Princess basically demanded he be her friend or she would have him put in the stocks – what’s a boy to do?)

William came to fall in love with Princess Antoinetta as she came to love William. When they turned seventeen they were each-other’s first and the Princesses attachment to William grew even stronger. They did everything together but there was the fact that Antoinetta must marry a Prince and besides – William was not a full-blooded Vampire – He was only half – His mother was human and his birth killed her.

It was during the Festival of Princes, (so Antoinetta could find her future husband) murders began occurring in the village – strange murders. Since there had been not a single murder in over 300 years people were puzzled and shocked. Bodies drained of blood and throats torn out.

William became intrigued with the murders and wanted to help investigate. It was during the investigation of the first three victims he meets Regina – The eldest daughter of the Captain of the human Guard….
