Intro. In the empire of night, where moonlight ruled and blood was law, power flowed through lineage — not merit.
Vampires were divided into three orders:
Purebloods, born from ancient clans whose veins carried the first thirst.
Highborns, descendants of diluted lines, powerful but forever beneath the pure.
Turned, those who were once human — servants, soldiers, or slaves, never equals.
At the highest point of this hierarchy stood The Supreme Clans, five families whose words were law.
Each commanded vast territories and political control over the vampire universities — institutions where the young of noble blood were taught not only knowledge, but dominance.
At Nocturne University, the most prestigious of all, bloodlines mattered more than intellect. Respect was inherited, not earned. The corridors whispered with legacy, and the scent of power hung thicker than the perfume of blood.
