Matchmaker from the Grave

Sentenced to work as an unpaid maid in a barn, 22-year-old Emily is knocked down and wakes the ancient vampire Violet van Horn, her ancestor who has slept for 300 years. Moved by pity, Violet vows to bring her descendant out of the shadows. At prom, Emily shines with Violet’s magic and wins Liam’s affection. When she is falsely accused of cheating, Emily learns the Memory Palace and defeats the test 98–55, forcing her stepmother to admit the abuse. She then uncovers the truth that Arthur Gray, her biological father, belongs to the family that killed her mother. As false charges follow, Violet’s memory magic reveals everything, and Liam stays by Emily’s side. Emily later saves the Grays using 300 years of van Horn credit, only to turn their words back on them: “Weren’t you the ones who called me a poor nobody?” In the end, she marries Liam, Violet’s magic fades, and the barn falls quiet.
