Agnes Whitley was born into a very complicated childhood. When her father, King Edward II, died, she was denied her birthright to be recognised as a royal family member. Therefore, she carried her deceased mother's maiden name, Whitley, instead.

Agnes resided in one of Coxwell's provinces, a parish called Westmoreland, Jamaica, W.I. Before her father's death, he colonised the majority of sectors of Caribbean Islanders by constructing an enormous manor, Whitley Manor, and creating compartments of businesses in the plantations and millings. Throughout her father's triumphant business adventures, Agnes Whitley became a very wealthy heiress. At the time, Agnes was very young to receive so much wealth.

As innocent and naive Agnes, she developed enemies who plotted against her death. One of her enemies was her father's mistress named Valeria. Valeria conjured a spell to attempt to eliminate Agnes. However, Valeria's plans somehow did not succeed. Agnes was transformed into an enchantress to allure any men into her sexual desires. When she was finished drawing these men into her web, she devoured them by sucking their blood. Agnes' powers became so dominant, in fact, she captured her victims' souls.

The Vampiress of Whitley Manor is a treacherous fictional tale that was inspired by the Jamaican classic folklore tales about the story of "ANNIE PALMER: THE WHITE WITCH OF ROSEHALL & THE BLACK HEARTS". The book The Vampiress of Whitley Manor, by Black Pearl, is dedicated to all my ancestors in the beautiful island of Jamaica, W.I. It is the land of green, gold, and black. "The sun shineth, the land is green and the people are strong and creative" is the symbolism of the colours of the flag. Black depicts the strength and creativity of the people; gold, the natural wealth and beauty of sunlight; and green, hope and agricultural resources. Code for use of the Jamaican Flag, which we love you, Jamaica, W.I.!
