A Homeless Vampire

After centuries of deep slumber, the vampire Isle awakens to a world that has moved on without him. His ancestral home has been seized, leaving him entirely destitute and adrift in an unfamiliar era. With no refuge left to call his own, he is unexpectedly taken in by a man named Loan, who offers him shelter when all else seems lost. To earn his keep, Isle channels a highly unusual gift: an extraordinary talent for identifying counterfeit wine. As he applies this rare skill within his new surroundings, fragments of a forgotten past begin to stir. Memories he believed were permanently erased slowly resurface, bringing with them echoes of a history far more complex than he realized. Yet it is not only his lost memories that complicate his waking life. The dynamic between Isle and Loan—initially defined by their unequal circumstances—gradually shifts into something far deeper. As buried truths come to light, desire, power, and fate become intricately entwined, steering both men toward a connection neither could have ever anticipated.
