   Summary

   In 2025, Charlotte Angel Broussard sits across from a journalist, recounting a story older than America itself. Born in 1765 New Orleans—a city humming with music, secrets, and spirits—Charlotte was once just a cinnamon-skinned girl with dreams of love, dressed in lace and innocence. But everything changed the day she met Katrielle: a wealthy, enigmatic French girl with sunlit eyes and a shadowed past. Charlotte didn’t know it then, but Katrielle was no ordinary girl—she was something ancient. Eternal. A vampire bound by blood and secrecy.

   As the interview unfolds, the lines blur between past and present, love and loss, girlhood and damnation. Charlotte speaks of desire, discovery, and the hunger that awakened in her after their meeting—a hunger that would consume everything she knew, including the girl who gave it to her.

   Now centuries old and immortal, Charlotte is a creature of the night haunted not by her curse, but by memory. And as the truth unravels, the journalist begins to realize that Charlotte’s story is more than history… it’s a warning.
