Throne in the Shadows
In the neon-choked sprawl of New Avalon, the world has moved on from monsters. Vampires are myth, diluted into club fashion and cosplay. The old bloodlines are dead, their courts buried, their legacies forgotten. But one remains.
Ash—red-eyed, white-haired, immortal—has survived centuries of betrayal, silence, and war. He has no throne. No followers. No name etched in history. But he remembers everything.
He’s not here to reclaim the past.
He’s here to build the future.
From the guttered alleys to the highest corporate towers, Ash begins forging a new order—recruiting the broken, the ruthless, the hungry. Not a coven. Not a cult. A kingdom, born in secret and raised in blood.
But power never rises quietly.
As whispers spread and rivals stir, ancient predators awaken from slumber, and modern enemies start asking the wrong questions. In a city built on lies, Ash must navigate loyalty, betrayal, and the cost of building something that lasts in a world that wants everything to burn.
Because some empires are forged with steel.
This one will be built with fangs.
