NECROPOLIS RISING

A necromancer wants to turn Tokyo into a necropolis.

That necromancer should be dead. Cain and Hannah had killed her long ago. Or so they thought. But there's a fresh infestation of necrotons, reanimated corpses, haunting Tokyo's streets.

Cain and Hannah return to Tokyo to finish what they started. But what they find is much worse than they could have ever imagined. These necrotons aren't the same as the ones they faced before.

Necrotons have strength in numbers. They're puppets on strings. Only as skilled as the necromancer controlling them. Remove the head and the strings are cut. But these necrotons don't work like that. They regenerate.

And they keep coming.

To make matters worse, the local Mage Guild won't help. In fact, they're actively protecting the new necromancer. That necromancer is working on a spell to kill millions of citizens at once. To instantly reanimate the corpses.

And if Cain can't stop them, Tokyo will soon be a city of the dead.

Chronicles of Cain

The series

Full series details →

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.
