Love Runs Red

A generous payment. A remote Romanian valley. A beautiful Countess with a wolf problem. When Lady Isolde von Drakenhart requests your unique talents, the assignment sounds straightforward: travel to Blackmoor, investigate the creatures slaughtering her livestock and subjects, and collect your reward. But the deeper you venture into the Carpathian wilderness, the stranger everything becomes. Villagers disappear. Corpses are found without blood. Hunters prowl the forest after dark. Your alluring hostess seems unusually interested in keeping you close—and everyone in Blackmoor appears to know something you don't. Hunt the wolves. Uncover Blackmoor's secrets. Choose whom to trust. Fall in love, if you're foolish enough. Just remember: there's more than one kind of predator in these woods. --- ★★★★★ “I spent half the story wondering why Isolde kept staring at my neck. I am apparently not a clever man.” — CountessEnjoyer94 ★★★★★ “Came to hunt wolves. Accidentally became the central issue in a supernatural territorial dispute.” — SilverIsExpensive ★★★★★ “Isolde is elegant, sophisticated, terrifying, and absolutely trustworthy. This review was written voluntarily from inside Blackmoor Keep.” — DefinitelyNotLivestock ★★★★★ “Ana: We should leave. Elena: We should kill the vampires. Isolde: You should stay for dinner. Me: I can fix this.” — BadDecisionHunter ★★★★☆ “Asked Zora one question. She answered with a story about a goat, three dead kings, and an onion. Somehow it was important.” — ConfusedOutsider ★★★★★ “Katarina told me to stop bleeding on the furniture. 10/10 hospitality.” — PaperCutSurvivor
