The Chosen One

Romantic books and films about vampires changed the world. And even more, the vampires themselves—openly declaring their existence in 2020—changed it. They arrived with peace and a promise that they would no longer kill people.

Many believed them and joined their society, even though their life was restricted by strict legal frameworks. Others, however, continued to distrust them.

Thirty years later, a young vampire from the Sheremetev clan wants to find himself a wife among mortals. He is ready to live with her and her short human life—but for the first time in history, he is allowed to turn a girl by her own choice. The clan head decides to make the selection into a competition and a reality show.

Wealthy heiresses who crave love from an immortal handsome man and eternal youth flock to a medieval castle to fight for the right to become Alexander’s wife, unaware that Alexander has entirely different plans. Even Alex’s father has his own interests. While some cheerfully vote for the contestants online, others threaten the vampires and the competition with trouble.

It will be up to Marta—who doesn’t particularly like vampires—to sort it all out. She is the bodyguard of one of the contestants, and her charge, Violetta Remeshcheva, is very seriously determined to win.
