86. Nightly Screams
The oversized moon hung silently in the starlit sky, casting its silver glow upon the mortal world. Nights were mostly peaceful in Blackthorn; with a lack of light, the peasants went to sleep in their shabby homes and prayed that tomorrow would be better.Tarlington hill that loomed over Blackthorn w...
85. A GOOD HUNT
Due to the dream, the moonlight felt strange and primal to Damien as he basked in its light. To other Vampires, it brought safety, but for him, it was a reminder. He was supposed to be a creature of the night, not some human in the skin of a monster."But Damien Nightshades' worries were not ...

82. Nightshade Citadel
Damien left the trashed room in a foul mood. He scowled at the faded red carpets and the cracked sandstone walls as he strode through the castle's ancient hallways. Filthy humans scurried passed or hid in rooms as he passed; they smelled of fear. He ignored them.Eventually, he stood tall on the ...
81. A Vampire's Insatiable Hunger

72. The Five Fanged Purple Eye
A man sat with his knees huddled to his chest and his back resting against a grey stone battlement. A large brimmed hat covered his eyes and protected his face from the freezing rain and howling winds.

New Cover Art
The previous cover art was taken from Pinterest and I believe it is from an existing Anime. RoyalRoad and (Amazon) Kindle require authors to have original art as their cover so I commissioned an artist to make me an original cover with all the money I made from Patreon last month.
