The Midnight Lineage

Ten thousand years ago, a being born from pure darkness nearly shattered the cosmos. Known only as the Vampire Ancestor, it devoured its rival, the Corrupted One — Chronos — and reshaped the world. Before falling into slumber, the ancestor left behind a warning: “On the day I awaken, the world shall end.” From its bloodline came six royal vampire families, rulers of the night and guardians of their kind. Yet betrayal, ambition, and a terrible incident five centuries ago shattered their unity. The five Ancestors fell into deep sleep — and only one has awakened. That one is William Umbraeus, the last heir of the true line and bearer of a bloodline feared even among vampires. Handsome, kind, yet burdened by memories he cannot fully recall, William rises into a world where: The Blackthorne family secretly allied with the cult Azura Order, worshippers of Chronos. Whispers of the Corrupted plague ancient castles and noble halls, threatening to drive vampires into madness. The fragile balance between vampires and humans is crumbling in London’s fog-shrouded streets. Bound by forgotten vows, hunted by whispers of gods long thought dead, and watched by Sherlock Halloway — a human detective with a tragic past and knowledge of the supernatural — William must uncover the truth of the incident 500 years ago. For within that truth lies the reason his name has been erased, why the Umbraeus family is feared above all others, and why the world itself trembles at his awakening. When gods of corruption whisper and royal bloodlines conspire, only the last Umbraeus can stand between salvation and annihilation. Discord Link: https://discord.gg/gZyMUt7q Email:[email protected]
