A Banished Land: Fall of the Sovereign

After a few close brushes with death, young Ivan was turned?into a vampire. Caught up in the eternal battle between vampires and werewolves, the young vampire must find his way in an inexplicable new world. Older, wiser, and a veteran of the war, Ivan has gained a more worldly and mature view of the realities of life?and the afterlife.

Everything has a cause and an effect, he's learned. Sometimes, as in Ivan's case, circumstance itself defines a person's future. Other times, those circumstances force the unprepared into situations outside of their control. You can crumble, or you can change.

Ivan changed.

He always thought he would have more time with his family and friends, more time to keep the many promises he made when he was mortal. But war is coming, the pieces are in motion, and somewhere on the battlefield is a promise he can't escape. Ivan has vowed to kill the man who tried to kill him. He?ll do whatever it takes to reunite a mother and daughter. Nothing and no one?mortal or otherwise?can stop him. No sacrifice is too great for his cause.

It's time for Ivan to keep his promises and break his enemies.
