Sharon has had the same dream again and again since she was a child.
In the dream, there is a dark castle, huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and a distant call.
When she was seven years old, she met a pale, silver-haired vampire man named Eli in the forest. He had a handsome face, profound knowledge and complex thoughts.
Eli treated her like a father and a friend, and Sharon called him compadre, meaning godfather and partner.
As the girl grows up with Eli, increasingly unsolvable mysteries appear in Sharon's life.
The fog in the town, the phantom in the castle, the strange noises in the studio, and the earl's terrifying secrets all unfolded one by one when she was sixteen.
