Chronicles of Cain · #1
To Kill a Unicorn
The gods are dead. The fae rule Gaia.
Cain used to kill for the fae. The only human to become a member of the Oblivion Guard, he killed one time too many and had enough. Leaving it all behind wasn't as easy as turning in a resignation. But the fae had trained him well and soon it was they who bargained for him to leave Feary and live in exile in Gaia.
Now a tracker for an assassination and bounty hunting agency, Cain doesn't kill anymore. When his mission to track a teenage girl goes horribly wrong, he and the girl end up on the run from powerful forces the likes of which he's never seen before.
That's because the fae have been hiding a terrible secret. The gods aren't dead. In fact, they're very much alive and killing humans they deem too powerful to survive. The girl is in their crosshairs and now he is too.
To make matters worse, Cain discovers he's dying from the curse of Cthulhu. The cure? Eating a living, beating unicorn heart. Cain thought unicorns were extinct, but a mystery party offers him salvation: a unicorn for the assassination of the leader of the Mages Guild.
With the gods, the fae, and the rest of the supernatural world hunting the hunter, the odds don't look good. But Cain has survived too much to give up now. And the high and mighty are about to find out what real fear feels like.
The series
In a world where shadows stretch longer than the truth, Chronicles of Cain plunges readers into a darkly humorous, blood-soaked journey through the eyes of a protagonist who never asked to be a hero or a monster. Twisting classic vampire lore with a sharp, modern edge, this series explores what happens when immortality comes with baggage, sarcasm is a survival tactic, and redemption is never straightforward.
Read full series description
Cain isn't your typical brooding vampire. He's impulsive, brutally honest, and far more comfortable swinging a sword than soul-searching. But when ancient forces rise and secrets buried in blood begin to surface, he's forced to confront the kind of legacy that can't be outrun. The story unfolds in a world where magic simmers beneath the surface, alliances are fragile, and power always has a price.
What makes the series stand out isn't just the supernatural action or gritty world-building. It's the raw emotional core wrapped in biting wit. The dialogue crackles, the pace never lets up, and even in the darkest moments, there's a flicker of self-aware humor that keeps things grounded. Fans of urban fantasy with a darker, character-driven focus will find a lot to sink their teeth into.
Gritty, irreverent, and emotionally charged, Chronicles of Cain offers a fresh take on the vampire antihero and the heavy cost of power, loyalty, and truth. It's not about saving the world. It’s about surviving it on your own terms.
