You were a normal man, barely more than a boy, living in uneasy truce with your father and his new girlfriend. Were. Now? Now you are a vampire, because you had the blood of monsters running through your veins, because your recently met benefactor, Vittoria Bosco, needs to raise an army. Because, just after achieving immortality, you are about to die. Vittoria and her son, Lucca, are on the run from one of the big ones, one of the monsters who are no longer whispered about in the dark, because all that ever knew to fear him are dead or in his thrall. They stole an artifact from him, the Vial of the First Blood, and want to establish a clan, a powerbase that will allow them to challenge him. Him, and the werewolf he has sent after them. Because one nightmarish monster wasn't enough for you. Meanwhile, it turns out normal vampires can't turn any regular human into one of them, no, they need to have vampiric blood on their ancestry. That's where you, and your mysterious ancestor, come in. Likewise, it appears they cannot breed like regular humans… Except for Lucca. Because he's special.
