VAMPIRE KING DAEMON

He has many names.  Ancient One. First Among Equals. King.  Daemon.  The last is what the humans called him with fear and reverence in their voices.  And then no one called him at all.  After he chose to sleep to await his first Fledgling, both humans and Vampires forgot that he truly existed.

Daemon faded into myth …

But he would not stay there.  The one that Daemon has dreamed of, his first Fledgling, has been born and they will find one another.  It is fate.  And he will walk the worlds of humans and Vampires once more as king.

JULIAN HARROW

Julian Harrow’s parents were adventurers.  There were television programs and dozens of bestselling books that chronicled their treks to the ends of the Earth to find out if myths of magic, gods, and monsters were real. While wealth and fame were theirs, respect from the scholarly community escaped the Harrows.

Their last quest was not one that they shared with the public.  For they believed they had found a way into a place called Ever Dark, the Vampire world that exists beside humanity’s.  They had discovered one of Ever Dark’s cities that could be accessed by humans. This city of pale stone seemed to have been forgotten and abandoned.   

Knowing that they would face only ridicule if they revealed the existence of Vampires to the world without absolute proof, Julian’s parents went in secret to this seemingly lost Vampire city.  They did not even tell their twelve-year-old son exactly where they were going. They said they would come back with proof that Vampires existed.

Only they did not come back at all.

The police informed Julian that his parents died in a car accident.  Julian never believed that. He is convinced that his parents found Ever Dark … and that the Vampires found and killed them.

Now, twenty-eight-year-old Julian believes that he has found the entrance to that abandoned city of pale stone.  With his best friend, Christian Thorne, playing Scully to his Mulder, the two of them are intent on completing his parents’ work and proving to the world that Vampires are real.

Only, neither of them, really thought about what it would mean to meet a Vampire, let alone their king ...
