PROLOGUE

Until this day, the origins of the fabled Book of Truths have never been known. A mysterious grimoire, the Book of Truths was discovered during the year Charlemagne was crowned the first Holy Roman Emperor in 800 AD. The finders of the book, two brothers by the names of Vincent and Damien Vescovi, read an incantation aloud from its pages. As they did, a change overtook them. The warmth from their bodies was the first to drain away. Then their heartbeats slowed almost to a flutter. Their skins paled, eyes glazed over in an alloy glow, and senses sharpened greatly. With this transformation came one severe need that overwhelmed all others. A thirst began to build where warmth once was. They became the first of a new species. The Romans called them “strigoi.” Vampires.

Within the pages of the book was a premonition. This premonition told of five humans who would be born to a unique strand of the Vampire Virus. Human only until puberty, after which time the virus would unleash itself and the curse within would spread wildly throughout the body. These five were known as the Vampire Legends.

It is said that each of the five Legends would develop a special ability, unique to that specific individual. If fallen to a darker agenda, these five elites could be used for the pursuit of evil.

As detailed in the Book of Truths, the transformation of human to Legend incubated at birth. From there, the progression of the virus depended on the individual maturity of its host. Subtle at first, the human host would fail to recognize any changes. The heart rate would increase, hearing, smell and sight would heighten, a sensitivity to light in their eyes would develop, their muscle tissue would tear and mend continuously and their taste buds would mutate. Once the virus had reached the final twenty-four hour threshold, the Legend would experience a type of pain unmatched by another. If the human host was not found by their vampiric brethren by this time, the virus would fail to take and the Legend would die.

The book also told of the Collectors, vampires with the gift of precognition. Their visions were explicit and essential to finding the Legends. Upon the birth of a Legend, two occurrences would take place. The first was a blood red moon and the second was a vision of the birth by all Collectors, which would lead the Collectors to the location around the world of each Legend born.

The Book of Truths told of a ritual that would guide those in search of a lost Legend. The Blood Toast, as it was referred to in the book, became a nightly ceremony for the Collectors. They recognize it today as the Collectors’ Toast. If on a night, the blood within the Collectors’ chalices turned to dust, the transformation of a Legend had initiated and the time limit to find the Legend was winding down.

Centuries passed and time pushed ahead. With the progression of years, a rift formed between Damien and his brother. Vincent had grown cruel in his archaic age. His lust for blood was overshadowed by a new thirst. Power. He believed that humans were inferior creatures that should be domesticated and farmed as a food supply rather than move through life in the hierarchy of existence. Damien thought different. He felt sympathy toward humanity and wished to feed only when necessary and to do so on the sickly and dying.

During the search for the third Legend, Vincent left his brother’s side in a fit of fury. He took with him his most trusted underlings and began a covenant of his own. He filled out the rest of his ranks with an army of humans he turned at random. Since this time, Vincent and Damien have not spoken, yet their rival clans have feuded habitually.

By December of 1902, the last of the five Vampire Legends was born in Brooklyn, New York. Twenty-three years later, his ascension took place and the rite of the last Legend ended. Since then, the five have worked side by side with Damien to continue a peaceful and clandestine co-existence with mankind, counteracting the devious workings of Vincent and his faction. To this day, the Collectors still gather in their grand hall where the Collectors’ Toast is performed each night out of homage and tradition.

On August 24th, 1989, decades after the last of the five Legends had been transformed, a baby was born under a blood moon. Only one Collector had precognition of this event.

"Vampire Legends vol.1 THE COLLECTORS"

Hello Vampire Lovers!

I have done something with Vampire Legends that no one has ever done. If you love vampires, magic, and love stories all in one then look no further.

Imagine you were destined for something far greater than you ever thought possible. You have no choice in the matter, it will just be. You can’t run as it is in your blood. You cannot escape your destiny.
Karamee Thornley, a quiet twenty-three-year-old college student, lives a quaint life in the small town of Wisteria Heights, Washington. That is, until the day she lets the very charismatic and mysterious Chance into her life. For the first time, it seems, she has met someone who complements her heart in a way that no other could. She is unaware, though, that Chance is actually a Collector, a primordial order of vampires created to discover the vampire Legends of ancient prophecy before their transformation can begin. As she struggles to understand the truth behind her destiny, the quiet life she clings to begins to unravel, and little by little her world, like her own being, is transformed.
Filled with chaos, excitement, romance and more, this story sends Chance and Karamee down a path of undeniable love and despair, leading up to the climatic event that may prove to be Karamee’s demise.
