Summary
Gotham City has always been a place where monsters wear human faces. For over two centuries, one secret has stayed buried deeper than all the rest.
The Szarr family arrived in Gotham in the early 1800s. Aristocratic, pale, and impossibly wealthy. They built a manor on the outer edge of the old quarter, kept to themselves, and outlived everyone who thought to ask questions. To the city's elite, Cazador Szarr is merely a reclusive eccentric billionaire.
The young man always at his side is introduced as his ward. Astarion Ancúnin is beautiful and charming and has not made a single choice of his own free will in two hundred years.
Nightwing has brought down crime lords, assassins, and monsters wearing human faces. He is very good at his job. When a string of missing persons leads him to the Szarr family's doorstep, he's confident he knows what he's walking into.
He has never been more wrong about anything in his life.

Summary
“Deep down, you like being leashed, don’t you?” The hag’s voice was almost in his ear. Astarion whirled around. An Auntie Ethel – the real one? – stood on the ledge just behind him, yellow fangs bared in a vicious grin. “Listen to your betters, boy!”
And just like that, Astarion's newfound freedom disappeared.
