The Judas Chronicles "I was the Thirteenth." The one who kissed. The one who fled. The one who fell-and never stopped falling. Condemned to wander through the shadows of history, Judas Iscariot awakens not to death, but to a curse. From the fires of the Inquisition to the dark alleys of London, from the blood-soaked fields of the Crusades to the haunted ruins of Whitby, his path is marked by guilt, betrayal, and an unquenchable thirst. Reborn as both sinner and seer, murderer and healer, Judas carries the weight of an ancient betrayal while wrestling with the hunger of something far darker: immortality. Along the way he meets those who love, hunt, or fear him-an inquisitive detective in Berlin, a grieving widow in London, a secret brotherhood guarding forbidden texts, and a lineage tied to Dracula himself. As old cults rise and forgotten evils stir once more, Judas must decide whether he is condemned to remain history's greatest traitor-or if he can become its last witness, standing between humanity and the abyss. The Judas Chronicles is a gothic journey through time, faith, and darkness: a tale of betrayal and redemption, of shadow and light, where even the damned may seek grace.
