Eleonore Bettencourt-Devereux was a rare creature in many ways. The first: She had been born to an immortal vampire sire and a mortal succubus mother and was thus a hybrid with unique traits from both species. The second: She’d seen many centuries pass, despite inheriting her mother’s mortality. The third: She’d been chained to a crystal, magically compelled to obey a witch’s every command. Those commands had largely involved murder.
