Soot and Roses

In Graven, the sun is obscured by industrial smog. The vampires once feared it, and humans still depend on it. And now they're sharing it—even if it's a rare sight. Hunters travel between the two, dealing with anomalies that cannot be accommodated by the city. Silas Crowe is affiliated with the Abnormal Health Issues Response Department and is the executor of the Anomaly Handling Section. Known as "Black Rabbit", he records, observes, and processes, and once thought that was all. Until one day, he met an unregistered vampire in front of an old house. She doesn't drink blood, doesn't hurt anyone, and lives alone on the edge of the city. She has the appearance of a vampire, but lives a life that has nothing to do with the vampires. She didn't know if her name still mattered. He didn't know why he stayed again and again.
