Jacob Turklingle, Praefectus of the Folklore Praesidium has a problem. Count Petrov, a vampire, has been attacking villagers. The rules say "donated animal blood only." The penalty for such transgression is banishment from the Folklore World. Jacob's problem is the Count's magic. It is too strong for the wizard to counter. The only thing Jacob can do is consult the Oracle. When he does, there is good news and bad news. The good news is there will be a woman with power to banish the Count. The bad news is the woman has yet to be born. Princess Natasha is that woman and this is her story.
