Lavish parties. Secret trysts. Bone-chilling murders. Angels. Demons. Midterms. The day-to-day lives of Schuyler Van Alen and her Blue Blood friends (and enemies) are never boring. But there’s oh-so-much more to know about these beautiful and powerful teens. Below the streets of Manhattan, within the walls of the Repository, is a wealth of never-before revealed information about the vampire elite that dates back to the dawn of history. In a series of short stories, journal entries, and intimate letters, New York Times best-selling author Melissa de la Cruz gives you the keys to the Repository and an in-depth look into the secret world of the Blue Bloods.

Forsyth Llewellyn was once one of Charles Force’s most trusted allies in the Conclave, but recent events have since revealed that far from being an ally, Forsyth was most likely

Charles’s greatest living adversary and a traitor to the community. Forsyth grew up in Manhattan but soon joined the family oil business in Houston, Texas. He moved back to New

York when he won a vacant senate seat, an action prohibited by the Code of the Vampires, which states that Blue Bloods should not take political office. (It must be noted that the rule against entering Red Blood politics has always been weakly enforced, if at all, and through the centuries many Blue Bloods have held positions of authority in the human world.)

Forsyth Llewellyn has been revealed as a Silver Blood traitor, entrusted with the destruction of Allegra and Lucifer’s firstborn child in {DATE REDACTED}. It is the Venators’ belief that he let the child live in order to facilitate Lucifer’s return.

During his cycle as Tiberius Stanford, he supposedly died of grief shortly after his daughter Maggie went missing. However, the Repository files indicate he never showed Maggie very much affection and most likely was using grief to cover his fear at the repercussions from his true master had Maggie (Bliss) been able to destroy herself.

At the urging of Cordelia Van Alen, he also took the spirit of the Watcher, the Pistis Sophia, as his second daughter, Jordan.

Cordelia suspected that Silver Blood treachery was afoot, and that one of the oldest families in the Conclave was working in league with our sworn enemies and possibly the Dark Prince himself. Little did she know that she was entrusting the traitor. . .

The Repository now believes that, along with fellow Silver

Blood traitor Nan Cutler, Forsyth arranged for Jordan to be taken by the Croatan. From his position in the Conclave he sent the Venators on a wild goose chase after her— sending those who could have unmasked him as far away as possible. After the murder of Lawrence Van Alen and the disappearance of

Charles Force, Forsyth tried to instate himself as Regis. Only a lone objection from Mimi Force kept the vote from being unanimous.

He arranged for the bonding ceremony between the Force twins to take place so that the Silver Bloods could stage an attack at St. John the Divine, which we now believe he had guessed was the true location of the Gate of Time. If not for the remarkable sacrifice and bravery of Venator Martin, the Silver

Bloods might have been able to open one of the Gates of Hell and let loose Abomination upon the world again, as during the

Battle of Rome. Forsyth disappeared soon after the attack, and has not been seen since.

Current Status: Missing. Location unknown.

BOBIANNE LLEWELLYN

Andela, of the Dawn

Birth Name: Roberta Shepherd Prescott, known as

“BobiAnne”

Origin: December 18, 1973, Houston, Texas

Known Past Lives: Dorothea Stanford (Newport), May

Brewster (Plymouth), Antonia de Medici (Florence), Eunia

Macro (Rome)

Bondmate: Forsyth Llewellyn

Assigned Human Conduit: None

List of Human Familiars: John-Boy Rogers (1991-1993), George Walton (1995-1997), Billy Busch (1998-2001), Richard Carter (2001-2006)

Physical Characteristics:

Hair: Dyed blond

Eyes: Brown

Height: 5’9”

Described by Cordelia Van Alen as a prime example of the

“downwardly aspirational” actions of the current incarnation of

Blue Bloods, BobiAnne was known to be a superficial, silly, and ridiculous social climber; a tacky caricature who never quite fit in with the New York upper crust.

The much younger wife of Forsyth Llewellyn is referred to in all reports as Bliss’s stepmother; however, there is no record of

Forsyth’s prior marriage, and a recently discovered copy of

Bliss’s birth certificate lists her birth mother as “R.P.” the initials for Roberta Prescott. It is the Repository’s conclusion that

BobiAnne was Bliss’s birth mother for her current incarnation but allowed the child to believe she was her stepmother, as

Bliss had shown hostility toward her in prior life cycles. As

Dorothea Stanford, she reportedly became mentally unbalanced after her daughter’s disappearance, which we now believe was due to her fear that Maggie’s true identity would be revealed to the Coven. Dorothea was convinced that her friends and neighbors were keeping the truth of her daughter’s whereabouts from her.

She was also Jordan’s birth mother. By all accounts, she barely tolerated the child, for reasons that have now become clear. The Venators believe that, like her husband, Bobi-Anne was a Silver Blood traitor, and feared that the Pistis Sophia would expose the couple for what they were: agents of the

Prince of Darkness, foster parents to his secret heir. She perished during the massacre in Rio, a victim of her own nefarious schemes.

Forsyth Llewellyn was never the same after her death. As for New York and Texan society, they survived.

Current Status: Finished. Slain during the Silver

Blood attack in Rio.

JORDAN LLEWELLYN

Pistis Sophia, Elder of Elders, the Watcher

Birth Name: Jordan Grace Llewellyn

Origin: January 1, 1994, Houston, Texas

Known Former Aliases: Julia Livilla (Rome)

Current Alias: Jane Murray

Bondmate: None. The Pistis Sophia is a virgin incarnate and has no bondmate.

Physical Characteristics:

Hair: As Jordan Llewellyn, brown

As Jane Murray, red

Eyes: As Jordan Llewellyn, green

As Jane Murray, blue

Height: As Jordan Llewellyn, 4’10”

As Jane Murray, 5’5”

Jordan Llewellyn’s true identity—the spirit of the Pistis Sophia, the Watcher—was known to only very few members of the

Conclave: Cordelia Van Alen, who called for her rebirth; Forsyth

Llewellyn, who fostered her and accepted her into his family; and the Regis, Charles Force, who finally gave his permission to the House of Records to call up the Sophia after Cordelia petitioned for it once too often.

The Watcher is an ancient soul born into full consciousness, with command of her memories and the ability to see the future. The Blue Bloods believe her wisdom will keep vigilance against Lucifer’s return, but she has slumbered for thousands of years. She came to her position during the days of

Rome, when she was then called Julia Livilla and sister to the emperor Caligula. She was the first who recognized Lucifer in him and joined forces with her sister Agrippina in a failed assassination attempt.

Michael released her spirit from the blood and freed her from having to adhere to the cycles of Expression. As the Pistis

Sophia, in Rome she predicted the breaking of the bond between Michael and Gabrielle and prophesied that Gabrielle’s daughter would be the salvation of the vampires.

As Jordan Llewellyn, the Sophia was a slightly awkward, short, and heavy girl, homely in contrast to her sister. At school she excelled in mathematics and science, and had a small group of friends. Family reports show that she followed Bliss around everywhere as a child, and, given Bliss’s extraordinary origin, it is safe to conclude that Jordan knew exactly with whom she was dealing and was simply biding her time. Yet those who knew the sisters well reported that they were very close and shared an affectionate bond, which might explain why Jordan waited several years before making the decision to strike.
