So I have three works of original fiction I am posting over on Fiction Press. The biggest planned out one at the moment is my novella series, The Vengeful Lust Series. Even though the individual novellas are not huge, the fact that there are a total of five novellas in the series makes it my most planned out original fiction. With that being said, I wanted to introduce some of the original characters in this series.
The series as a whole centers around an existence of supernatural in our world, but a post-apocalyptic or possibly a dystopian version of it. The idea being that the supernatural realm decided to reveal it's existence, starting with the top of the food chain. The vampires. The character who you get to know and either love or hate are all supernatural.
Among the vampires you have two different types of vampires, the blood born and the created. The blood born are ancient, many of them having lived thousands upon thousands of years. They're powerful, deadly and essentially royalty. There are a total of four blood born families and a fifth that was eradicated many millennia prior to the start of the series. If you are blood born, you are one them. Any other vampire was created. The four living families are the houses of Drakonia, Vladine, Acerbian, and Abhilasha.
The main protagonist in the first three books is Callidra Abhilasha. She's the last known survivor of her house. Because she is the Princess of Abhilasha, she is a considered a commodity among the other houses, but more than that is the fact that she's a she. Female blood borns are rare. After something happened with Donohue when she was younger and her parents were executed she abandoned her duties as a blood born vampire and fell in love with a human man name d Arian who she turned. For many centuries they were happy, but eventually the other blood borns executed her mate. After he was killed she made a vow to kill all vampires. She later turned that vow into a blood oath with the witches to make sure she never gave up on her cause.
The other two vampires you will become familiar with and also have a major role in the main 3 books are Donohue Drakonia and Arian Sarlin. Donohue is the prince of the Drokonia house and was always destined to be Callidra's mate but sometimes destiny can be thwarted... or at least delayed. Donohue is not a good man by any stretch of the imagine, but for all his hatred, anger and more, it is these very features that make him appealing in some way. By comparison, the late Arian is honest, good, just, and kind. He's the kind of man every woman should want and Callidra loved him for his shining nature. They are, very much, on opposite ends of the spectrum.
The first three stories are: Sex, Blood, Revenge (and Everything in Between); Desire, Fire, Hate (and Every Other Thing on that List); and Night, Tears, Life (and All Those Mysterious Things)
On top of the vampires, you will get to learn about four other species. The rule of law who are the witches, the half-breed spawn of a witch and vampire union which is a banshee, and two of natures creatures; the werewolves and werecats.
The main witch you will become acquainted with is Herasee. She's a powerful witch who makes sure Callidra fulfills her blood oath. Herasee is unlike most witches because, a) she has a sentient being as a familiar instead of an animal like a cat, dog or owl, and b) she works alone. She does not need the aid of a coven to work powerful spells, nor is she afraid of anything. There are reasons for this, but they won't be revealed until her book.
Her familiar is Katrine, a banshee. Banshees are technically more powerful than vampires, but there are only a handful in existence as their very existence is an affront to the law, to the hierarchy, and nature. She is very brunt and doesn't know her own limits, as such she gets into trouble regularly. Most of her story will be revealed in the same book as Herasee's.
Herasee's and Katrine's story is Anger, Hope, Fate (and the Whole Magical Getup)
Finally there are the werewolf and the werecat. Tiernan is a werewolf and familiar to Donohue. He seems to be the polar opposite of Donohue on an outward front, but the reality is that he has more demons in his closet than even Donohue. He's a very dark character with a very light front. He's multi-faceted in every way and when he ends up accidentally mating to Burmilla, a werecat and Callidra's familiar, the world turns on its metaphorical axis. Burmilla is a lover with a knowledge of how to fight and kill that is completely unmatched.
Their story is Pain, Games, Lies (and Many Other Dark Affairs)
