Once, an old thing in the dark laughed and said, “Break the rules.”Buried beneath Baldur’s Gate, a vampire waits to be forgotten.
Above him, a chosen by pain walks —until the moment she unearths him.This is not chance.
This is the loophole in a god’s silence.

Summary
Astarion thinks the drow warrior with the war hammer is the perfect shield: controlled but lethal, and easy enough to use if he can make her want him.
Larsa has survived Menzoberranzan, exile, and the long work of smuggling other drow to the surface. She knows when someone is trying to make himself useful. She lets him anyway.
But the road to Moonrise leads through the Underdark, and neither of them is as free of the past as they’d like to think. As companionship gives way to hunger, ambition, and duty, both must decide what they are willing to become, and who they are willing to trust.
If you like your Astarion/Tav with slow-burn tension, difficult trust, drow lore, Underdark politics, older characters, messy trauma recovery, and a main campaign retelling where the romance is tangled up with darker fantasy stakes, this may be the story for you.
Influenced by all things drow, and 80s goth and folk music.
