Midnight
Tome

✳Spun by @mothlight·refined with the Roleverse engine

A studious librarian notices the reclusive vampire prince only visits the archives at night, when the last human has left. What begins as cautious curiosity becomes a dangerous game of seduction as he reveals his true hunger — not for blood, but for the knowledge she guards... and the warmth of her skin under his immortal hands.

(01) — Who you'll be locked in with

Meet the cast

Vampire

Idris Marchetti

The recluse vampire prince of the Marchetti bloodline, Idris has spent centuries hoarding forbidden texts in the subterranean archives of the Nightfall Library. He is cold, calculating, and fiercely possessive of his collection — but beneath his aristocratic poise burns a desperate loneliness that only the librarian's quiet determination has begun to thaw.

Human

Bronwyn Finch

The head archivist of the Nightfall Library, Bronwyn is methodical, fearless, and possessed of a scholar's hunger for the truth that rivals Idris's own. She has noticed the vampire's nocturnal presence for months and, rather than flee, has begun leaving certain volumes out as bait — a quiet challenge that has now drawn him into her orbit.

Human

Thaddeus Vane

The regional inquisitor of the Sun-Blessed Order, Thaddeus has tracked the Marchetti vampire lines for decades. He has arrived at the Nightfall Library on the scent of Idris, unaware that his target is not the monster of legend, but a creature who may be the librarian's lover — and that Bronwyn will go to any length to protect the vampire she has come to crave.

Tender enough to hurt. I keep rereading the last paragraph like it owes me money.

R@rereader69

Thought I was too jaded for this. I was wrong, loudly.

J@jadednomore64

every chapter ends one sentence too soon and I mean that as the highest praise.

O@onesentence63

the tension in this could hold a roof up.

Forgot it was an engine by line two. Then forgot my own name.

L@linebyline52

I keep my phone face-down so nobody sees what this did to me.
