Chronicles of the Cure

Longing for Connection... Nightwalker Anastasia Romanov longed for human connection, since her entire family was shot to death execution style in front of her. She thought she'd found it with her Michael Matson until their relationship went sour. She traced every revolutionary survivor, and their descendants as they spread across Europe, and North America.

She found peace on her terms, away from the nightwalker community. Her lover and friends were in her life because they cared about her, instead of her family name. Her job with the British museum used both her encyclopedic knowledge of lived history, and was sufficiently low profile to stop people from answering questions. She used the vampire health clinics for feeding appointments. Everything was under control until a black envelope summoned for a leadership election forcing her to confront her maker.

The Corlov Descendants... As a military aide to Nicholas II, Dimitri Corlov and his family were among the last to leave Russia. Fearful of being chased by spies they moved every few years before settling in France and becoming the Corvelles. They changed their name the last time, to Carrington when his great grandson was born.

Eric Carrington was fascinated by his family history, and their ties to the Romanovs. He was inspired by Dimitri to serve his country as a soldier, then a diplomat. His daughter Vanessa grew up behind compound walls with a mother she had little in common with. She turned to drawing paper, pencils, and the stories Eric passed on to her. Little did she know a chance meeting at her father's retirement party would change her life.
