The Vampire Regent

You rule over the vampires of a city in the heartland of the United States, and your decisions dictate the lives of mortals and immortals alike. Manipulate the mayor so her projects align with your interests. Use high crime rates to conceal the activities of your kind, or suppress them to maintain an unsuspecting facade of order. Provide nourishment and safety for the vampires under your rule while trying to preserve the secret of their existence, and face the enemies that threaten it. Drink blood at nightclubs and listen to rumors and tragedies -- or make some of your own. Practice the centuries-old tradition of fencing and put your skills to the test. Quench your thirst for blood, power, or knowledge, and even find love... if such a thing is possible for a non-beating heart.
