Synopsis

Wishes can be deadly. Beauty. That is what Devnee wishes for with all her heart. She is tired of feeling plain and dull. Tired of being ordinary and forgettable. If only she were beautiful, the rest would follow - acceptance, friendship... love. Devnee's family has just moved to the strange dark house with the circular tower. There Devnee's wish will be heard, and answered. Because he lives in the tower "I will give you beauty, my dear," the vampire purrs. And in return, Devnee will give him what he desires. But as Devnee wishes for more, so does the vampire. And soon, it is too late. She has wished for too much.
