The Mage's Diary: 1

Bonjour, dear reader. My name is Noé Lovelace, and I am dead.This diary chronicles the life of the first High Mage of Paris, Noé Lovelace - flamboyant, influential, and unapologetically self-dramatizing. For whoever may come upon it, he spins the tale of his life, his loves and his mistakes in the 19th century. You are invited to step into his world - rife with magic and intimate tension with the vampiric kingdom - and follow him from brash youth, luscious high society and alluring mystery through to the greatest threat Paris has ever known. Slowly on this journey he reaches clarity on how the chaotic events of the present he writes from came to be, and you are privy to the secrets of a world hiding in plain sight.Noé's story is only one chapter in a wider saga, and he can only tell you so much. The Mage's Diary is the first instalment in the Immortal Diaries series, six tales spread across time in an alternate supernatural history brimming with dark gothic tones and romanticism. Perfect for fans of Interview with the Vampire. *TRIGGER WARNINGS*Physical abuse, spec. slapping, gripping throat and wrist, throwing down stairs, breaking bonesNear-death experienceBlood and gore
