Summary
Before the events of squirming tadpoles connected a group of unlikely strangers into a begrudging partnership to save the world, Astarion roamed the streets of Baldur's Gate as a vampire slave to the Szarr family. His master, Cazador, forced him to seduce and lure thousands of victims to his doorstep, and if that wasn’t slight enough, he saw Astarion as his personal toy of torment and torture.
One hundred and fifty years later, anything that remained of the man before had been snuffed out by the heel of Cazador’s boot. That is until one night, when Astarion, yet again on the hunt for his master, comes across a possible target unlike any he’s met before. A charismatic and handsome drow who is equal parts word-smith, warrior, and wizard. This man’s otherworldly nature seems to see right through Astarion’s elaborately crafted persona, and more than that, he can break the mental hold Cazador has on him and shroud his presence from the vampire lord. The stranger, for whatever reason, is charmed by Astarion and offers him a deal: His protection from Cazador’s control for Astarion’s companionship.
What else can Astarion do but agree?
