Community rating: 5/5 from 1 rating.
An oath of vengeance.
A brotherhood sworn to ritual and blood.
A darkness older than empires — and it's waiting to feed.
Bulgaria during the bloody Crusades. Darius, heir of a noble house, sees a creature of the night slaughter his mother.
Vowing to destroy the vampire, he trains blade and mind for a war he may never survive — while protecting and caring for his frail sister under the rule of a cruel and heartless uncle.
To the south, Sir George, son of a murdered lord, joins Vlad Dracula’s shadowy Order of the Dragon. He seeks the truth behind his father’s death, and vengeance against the enemy that stole his bloodline.
But he uncovers a secret war more ancient and terrifying than the Ottoman invasion. A hidden vampire society with age-old myths and laws, plots and prejudice and vicious predators.
When Darius and Sir George’s paths collide, they're drawn into a hellish underworld of Gothic castles, sacred orders, and creatures who see humans as pawns — or prey. To face the coming night, each must choose: duty to family, loyalty to brotherhood, or survival in a war where immortals play for kingdoms, and their very souls are at stake.
