Vyllon He was created to be the ultimate enforcer, beholden to none. He is the infamous "boogeyman" of legend. The shadow that was slightly too long, the proverbial thing that goes bump in the night, and the being that immortals speak of in whispers. Centuries alone surrounded by the dregs of society have faded Vyllon's conscious away to nothing. He cares for nothing and no one until a chance encounter with a battered mortal shakes the foundation of his existence. The broken body contains the loveliest soul he's ever seen, the one soul meant to be the shining light to his suffocating darkness. Marjory The only thing Marjory Hempstead did wrong in her life was fall in love with a sociopath. Her life had become nothing more than a monotony of suffering, day after day and night after night. The marriage bed a mockery of what it should have been. After miscarrying her child, Marjory refuses to be a victim any longer. Her husband has robbed her of something she can never get back, and she refuses to let him take anything else from her ever again. After years of abuse, her first taste of freedom is cut tragically short by the appearance of something that looks like her husband Jeff, but is decidedly not Jeff.
