Outcast, outlawed and on the run for defying The Senate's rules, we follow a lone vampire across the forgotten towns of America, where law has curdled into ownership and decent people have learned to survive by looking away.
Operating under false names and hunted by forces that cannot forgive what he has become, our reluctant and cursed protagonist moves from place to place as a vampire fixer.
​
Feeding on the wicked, taking only what he needs from the innocent, and leaving behind broken tyrannies, buried secrets and just enough evidence for the civilisation pursuing him to understand that exile has not made him harmless.
The Nox Sanguinem Universe
Ah, see, I could tell you exactly what happens, but that would be a spoiler. Wait and see. Don't be impatient.
Gothic Horror,
Revenge Tragedy,
Dark Fantasy
Target Market:
The Nox Sanguinem Universe is aimed at readers of ambitious dark fantasy and horror who crave world-building as intricate as the violence is visceral. It will appeal to those drawn to mythic sagas where ancient orders clash with modern disillusionment, and to readers who prefer their supernatural fiction to be political, historical, and apocalyptic in scope.
​
Ideal readers are the ones who want their horror tinged with military grit, their fantasy laced with existential dread, and their thrillers sharpened with the question of whether power corrupts absolutely, or simply reveals what was always there.
​
This novel is for readers who see horror and fantasy as vehicles for epic tragedy, political allegory, and the collapse of identity, not just bloodletting and spectacle.
​
Comparable Titles:
Comparable in tone and ambition to Justin Cronin’s The Passage and Guillermo del Toro & Chuck Hogan’s The Strain, Legion of Blood explores how vampiric mythology can be reframed through military history, global politics, and the psychology of survival.
It also shares thematic ground with Anne Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles, particularly in its exploration of loyalty, betrayal, and the burden of immortality, though written with a harder, more brutal edge.
Like James Rollins or Robert Harris, it blends historical resonance with modern thriller pacing, but with the bleakness and fatalism of Cormac McCarthy and the operatic violence of Clive Barker.
Fans of HBO’s Rome, Game of Thrones, or Black Hawk Down will recognise the mix of brotherhood, betrayal, and battlefield horror, while readers of Neil Marshall’s Dog Soldiers or Glen Duncan’s The Last Werewolf will be drawn to its feral, militarised take on myth.
