Apartments For RentVACANT. The coquette to end all coquettes. Katrina Van Tassel has always taken what she wanted without exception. Everything, that is, except for the Hessian. Still stinging from the damage he did her while he was in the military, Katrina Van Tassel has come to Bellum Letale seeking revenge for past wrongs, and she’s fairly certain the sweet Ichabod Crane will help her achieve her goal. And with her cousin, Meg Giry, in the building she can’t lose.
VACANT. Uncle to Peter Pan and Gretel, Hook is a gruff man and a sailor by trade. His wife and child died in an accident years ago, and he's remained largely removed from his family since then. The call that his nephew, Jack Hollis, had abandoned his brother and sister in New York with no guardian was unexpected (not to mention unwanted). Never one to shirk his responsibilities, Hook has (reluctantly) agreed to move to the city and care for the children.
VACANT. ADDITIONAL AVAILABLE TENANTS.
Premise:
There is an apartment building in New York called 'Bellum Letale.' Most people ignore its auspicious name, though they would be advised to pay more attention to its meaning.
It is a strange building.
Every man, woman and child in the building is a reincarnated fable, the stories told to human children for hundreds, sometimes thousands of years. Once very real, the fables began to fade as science and reason dispelled the probability of their existence. They have all been reborn in human forms, though their essence remains, waiting to be awakened at the right time, in the right place.
Now is the time - Bellum Letale is the place. As their lives connect and weave together, as they follow their petty desires and long-held grudges, they are, all of them, on the brink of disaster. Their Landlord knows their every move, and the building they live in seems to have an agenda of its own. People are tortured, people die, people plot behind each other's backs and sneak around and cheat. They love, they fight, they draw blood. This is not the fairy tale you remember being told. |
