Character Bio

Suffering the same weakness as all vampires, Eben dies and turns to ash when the sun rises.

In the sequel, "Dark Days", Stella learns that there may be a way to bring back Eben. Stella exchanges proof of the existence of vampires for her husband's remains, in the hope of bringing him back from the dead.
