Introduction: Horror fantasy story.  An upstart young man from reviled lineage marches to a fateful duel over the hand of a noble lover whose heart is split between himself and his rival. Their spat concludes with his untimely death. Yet, although he is buried and chained to his casket, Arden Harrow awakes through the profane power of an infernal embrace. Reborn from the crypt, revivified by the blood of the living, Harrow refuses to renounce his ties to his former life. As a hunter of the night and a phantom to those he knew, Harrow reinvents himself to haunt the man who destroyed him and seeks to drag his erstwhile lover into a stark eternity with him...(Vaguely Victorian / Gothic / Low Steampunk horror in vibe & aesthetic. A world of industrial smog, gas lanterns, and vampiric fiends; sharing some myths & figures from old history but removed from reality in a fantastical and monstrous manner. Much shorter and leaner than Ashen Reign.)Alternative titles: "The Basilisk's Eye" or "The Harrowed Grave"...
