Book One - Reign of Adolphe
In Reign of Adolphe, they called it a curse. The villagers whispered of the boy born beneath the blood moon, marked by claw and fate, shunned by the Church, hunted by men who feared what they could not destroy. But the curse that fell upon Adolphe L'Hernault in 15th-century France was no accident. It was a choosing.
In the shadows of La Marche, where wolves once wept beneath the yew trees and the soil remembers slaughter, Adolphe begins his transformation, from hunted man to monstrous savior. For an ancient evil has risen from the Black Forests of Germany, gathering a legion of werewolves bred not for balance, but for annihilation. Under the Dark One's command, their bloodlust knows no kinship, no mercy, no end.
As the cursed and the damned descend upon Paris, Adolphe finds an unlikely ally in the catacombs beneath Notre Dame, Andrea Corsini, an immortal born in the crypts of old Italy, veiled in centuries of sorrow and fire. Together, they forge an alliance between predator and predator, drawn not by trust, but by necessity.
When the blood moon rises once more, the fate of mankind will be carved not by sword or creed, but by fang, claw, and the howl of a Chosen One. In the ancient courtyard of Notre Dame, where angels weep and monsters kneel, the first battle for the soul of the world begins.
The Gothic Horror Chronicles Continue...In Book Two: Adolphe - Blood Moon Returns, an even darker evil rises from the shadows of Bran Castle. Dracula, the ancient scourge of humanity, awakens with a vision to enslave mankind as blood cattle beneath a reign of eternal night. As Adolphe's bloodline faces extinction, he must lead a final stand within the walls of the Coliseum in Rome, where the moon bleeds red and the earth cries out for salvation.
In Book Three: When a Predator Dies, the origin of Andrea Corsini is revealed. Turned into a vampire as a virgin child in the 14th century, she ascended to become the most powerful predator of her time. From her tragic beginnings in an Italian cave to her fateful meeting with Adolphe beneath Notre Dame, her tale weaves a chilling chronicle of hunger, vengeance, and the unholy bond that changed the world.
