Synopsis: Alice is young and alone in an insane asylum in Biloxi, Mississippi. An equally lonely vampire befriends her and tries to make her stay in the asylum more bearable. But he's a vampire with many secrets and a past that is quickly catching up with him.

This is exactly what the site was saying:
Alice was held in a mental asylum because of her ability to have visions. There she was the favorite of a vampire who worked in the building. James, a hunter vampire, took the challenge of hunting her simply because another vampire desired her. Once it was clear to him that James was after her, he, the vampire who worked in the asylum, freed Alice and changed her before James could kill her. James killed the other vampire instead. She had no memory of these events and was left to find her own way.
The demand for more wasn't unexpected. And this is exactly what OTB did. While sticking to canon facts, she is developing little Alice, giving her the characteristics which we meet her with in the Saga, while creating a completely new character, Morgan, the anonymous vampire who saved her back at the asylum.
It is a wonderfully written story, with a solid plot and a purpose; it is not the kind of story that begins but you dunno where the heck the author could be heading. It is carefully structured, well developed on all aspects. The hours of research required for each chapter to be written just give me further reason to admire it, as well as its creator. There is also a big collection of outtakes and one-shots related to it, filling in the few blanks the story is leaving.
