About White Nights

In the quiet hours of the night, Sera heals those who seek her.

Ageless and ethereal, she lives as a healer and pharmacist. Beneath her calm exterior lies a secret: she is a fallen angel, left with one fragile gift.

When Jack finds her, everything begins to unravel.

Ancient and relentless, the vampire seeks not her help but her power. Obsessed with becoming a daywalker, he begins to hunt her, forcing her into a life on the run.

At his side is Caliban, once a loyal dog, now transformed into something unrecognizable. Bound by fear, he follows until his encounters with Sarah begin to awaken something long buried.

As the pursuit intensifies, Sera must confront the limits of her power and the truth that healing cannot be forced.

A dark, atmospheric story of power, obsession, and free will, where salvation is a choice and not everyone wants to be saved.
