Prequel to "Scarlet Night" by Megan J. Parker - to be released 1st October 2012Also see "The Lover", another prequel to "Scarlet Night"Note: Prequel contains swearing.In this prequel you are introduced to Zane, a cursed vampire that turns into a "beast" when angry, who's at an all-time low following the death of Gregori, his saviour and Zoey, an auric vampire who has decided enough is enough with Zane's attitude and downward spiral.The future of The Clan of Vain lies in the hands of Serena, Gregori's daughter, and entrusted Zane to find her.This short leads you to the same point in time as "The Lover", and makes reference to the characters from Nathan Squier's novel Crimson Shadow: Noir (though it's not important to have read this book).Reading both The Fighter and The Lover gives the perfect opening for Scarlet Night, and provides insight into how the characters have got to this point in time and their current state of minds."Scarlet Night" ̴ The story revolves around the vampire, Serena. Her father has recently been killed and the clan she has fought to stray from is in need of a leader. Zane, a vampire who is cursed by magical tattoos that turn him bestial, is a part of the clan and needs to get Serena to take over the clan she is needed by. However, as more danger threatens their clan, Serena and Zane's emotions can't be denied. Of course, this is made difficult when Serena's dead-lover's ghost haunts her every move.
