Lord Gregory Stockton is a powerful and respected businessman embracing
the modern era of the Victorian industrial revolution. He has a grand and
beautiful manor house complete with a repertoire of servants, and his young
wife is charming, attractive, and the perfect lady to his gentleman. The only
thing they lack is an heir to the family estate. Lord Gregory knows he can
never produce a child, for he is a vampire, although his wife and servants know
nothing of his secrets. There are other ways to provide heirs for his estate,
however, and Lord Gregory has noticed the romantic attraction between his wife
and the young stable hand Marcus Scott. He hatches a plan to bring the would-be
lovers together, and then cruelly tear them apart as he continues to build his
empire and secure his power base in the south of England. The humans are pawns
in the vampire’s game of lust, love and control.
