From the acclaimed Crimson Dawn universe comes a dark and mythic origin story that redefines the vampire legacy.

Before vampires walked the earth, before the first shadow fell upon man, there was Nocturna—born from the primordial forces of Hunger and Remembrance. Alone in a barren realm, Nocturna created Thorn, his son, molded from blood and pain. Together, they began a cycle of creation and destruction that would echo across the ages.

But immortality is never what it seems.

Thorn, cursed with eternal hunger, begins to create beings known as Elders—early vampires born from suffering, betrayal, and loss. Yet each is doomed to die and feed Nocturna's eternal feeding grounds. As Thorn schemes in silence, seeking to overthrow his father, a darker truth unfolds: every vampire ever created was never meant to live forever—they were born to be consumed.

This is the tale of gods, betrayal, and the real reason vampires were brought into existence. A haunting journey into origin, power, and what lies beyond death.
