Summary
It’s been twelve years since Jack Masterson last set
foot on Lestaron Island. Fresh out of college and lacking a
clear direction in life, he’s been asked by his aunt
and uncle to travel back to the place he once called home to
settle his recently deceased grandfather’s estate. Jack
has little to look forward to in regard to his return,
outside of a chance to reacquaint himself with Katie, his
childhood friend and former crush. When Jack discovers that his grandfather wasn’t
broke after all, as he’d been led to believe,
he’s surprised. When he discovers that most of the old
man’s monetary assets have been left to him, along with
the employment contract of a cute, young maid, he’s
virtually dumbfounded. And when an old enemy of the Masterson family decides to
strike in the wake of his grandfather’s passing, Jack
is the natural target. After being turned into a monster by a
beautiful woman who claims to be his new broodmother,
he’s left with a new outlook on life, one that strides
a thin line of moral judgement. Dark magic, enthralling
powers, and a thirst for blood that just can’t seem to
be sated. Would it really be so bad to give in?
