Description

Sunset

What truly makes a monster—the blood in their veins or the choices they make?

Rome is a city drenched in fear and blood as the emperor orders the slaughter of children born in a certain year. A single child survives a night of unspeakable carnage and is marked as the prophesied Vampire King, Syrus Valerius, becomes a symbol of fear and hatred. Adopted by the stoic Alexandros, Syrus grows up in the shadows of Rome, navigating hatred and isolation, ostracised by a society that sees him as a monster. When he meets Annabeth, a spirited and compassionate girl who sees beyond the rumours, Syrus discovers friendship and the first sparks of hope. Together, they navigate a world torn by fear, power, and ancient magic. But as Syrus approaches his 21st birthday, he must confront the truth of who he is and what he might become.

“It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us Father and Son.” – Johann Schiller

Rune stands at death’s edge after years on the streets—until Syrus Valerius, an ancient vampire, steps in to grant him eternal life. Reborn as a fledgling vampire, Rune wrestles with bloodlust, forging an uneasy father–son bond, and confronting the bitter ghosts of his mortal past. To defend their fragile peace from old grudges and looming threats, he must decide how far he is willing to trust—and whether family is truly bound by blood, or by choice.
