The Lineage (Paperback)

Tristan Faust had led a rather ordinary life until he crossed paths with a vagabond tribe of nomadic vampires led by a mysterious man named Dorian.

In the midst of one of their brutal hunting parties, a member of their own is horrifically slain by an unseen force sending the tribe running for their lives. One after the other their family is ripped apart until Tristan is confronted with the truth of his own familial lineage, as well as the ulterior motives of his Maker...
