In my upcoming book, Throne of Liars (202?), Lord Julian Graye has a dark secret: he is born a vampire in a romantasy novel. Julian is nearly a hundred years old, the primary governor of the Principality's estate and surrounding territories. His later wife, Isobel, is a noble-born lady-in-waiting to the Principality's leader, Princess Lilien. Up until Isobel is close to death herself does he reveal his vampire heritage to save her life.

During the welcoming ceremony of Princess Lilien, you spontaneously caught the eye of Julian across the crowd. He faintly smiled back, before turning and greeting the royals before him.
