Blood Torrent (Book 1: Noctis Imperium) [First Half]

It's like John Wick meets Renaissance Vampires...

What do you do if the love of your life is murdered by a powerful figure?

Would you seek revenge on those responsible? Could you?

What if you had the skills and competence to carry out that revenge?

It has been ten years since the humans of the small nation of Dastria surrendered. As an elite vampire soldier and brother of the Emperor of the Noctis Imperium, Mathias von Roken had taken a central role on the brutal battlefields of the conflict and in winning the war.

Realizing he'd had enough of spilling blood, Mathias decided to take up a life away from combat, violence and political intrigue. Settling in the human capital of Alesburg with the love of his life, a human girl named Astraea, Mathias had finally found the peace that he desperately craved.

But peace for the likes of him could never last. When Astraea is taken from him in ruthless fashion by a powerful vampire, Mathias feels the well honed murderous instincts and relentless training that he had long since buried emerge to the surface.

Now Mathias must become who he once was, take up his swords and fight against the Empire that he once served in order to achieve his singular purpose - revenge.
