What truly makes a monster? The blood in their veins or the choices they make?
Rome is a city drenched in fear and blood as the emperor orders the slaughter of children born in a certain year. A single child survives a night of unspeakable carnage and is marked as the prophesied Vampire King, Syrus Valerius, becomes a symbol of fear and hatred.
Adopted by the stoic Alexandros, Syrus grows up in the shadows of Rome, navigating hatred and isolation, ostracised by a society that sees him as a monster.
When he meets Annabeth, a spirited and compassionate girl who sees beyond the rumours, Syrus discovers friendship and the first sparks of hope. Together, they navigate a world torn by fear, power, and ancient magic. But as Syrus approaches his 21st birthday, he must confront the truth of who he is and what he might become.
