Jarred Sr sought to control the forces that where hard won to his brother, Arturo. And to this end, he orchestrated the birth of a child, to born of his wife, Taraliece, and his brother.
Conceived during the Coven's celebration of the Solstice, and born, prematurely, during the height of yet another, a Storm raging against the Chateau as the babe took her first breath.
Jarred, sensing none of the power he knew his brother weilded, wrested the child from her mother's arms, and took the babe deep into the Black Forest, leaving her to die.
Taraliece, having forseen Jarred's disappointment and rage, had arranged for another to watch for abandoment of the infant and rescue her.
Raised by the Drow Assassin, the babe soon grows into a child with powers and strengths he could not have forseen, nor can he control. Help sought leads to the kidnapping of the child, and its many years before she comes into her own, and makes her way home..... to Beware, to the Chateau, and to the Darkhadows.
