She learns that 782 has been presumed lost for a very long time and that each species of Creature desires it. She is besieged and threatened and knows that, to protect herself, she must uncover all the mysteries of 782. She encounters the enigmatic vampire, Matthew Clairmont, who offers to help her; their mutual attraction is immediate, undeniable and inexplicable because they both know that witches and vampires are not supposed to trust each other.

'Arcane Fantasy', for want of a better term is Fantasy focused spells and magic. Magic schools, magic learning, magic classes. The traditional modern day take on this is the Harry Potter setting of children learning magic in a school-type setting. It can encompass broader ideals than that and function as a focus on witches and wizards in any number of settings.
