In a world ruled by bloodlines and fate, an immortal warlord and a prophetic witch defy destiny—only to be torn apart by the very darkness that unites them.

SYNOPSIS:

In the shadow-drenched world of Bloodshade: The Ancestral Line, an immortal vampire warlord, Gilles de Rais, is awakened by the visions of Marie-Anne Lenormand—a young prophetess descended from witches and forgotten royalty. As their fates intertwine, a forbidden love is born: dark, eternal, and doomed.

Disguised as a fallen general, Gilles protects Marie-Anne from the threats of empires and occult forces that seek to claim her powers. But when she dies giving birth to their daughter, Elaris, Gilles spirals into vengeance, aiming to cleanse humanity through manipulation and chaos.

Yet Elaris—born from prophecy, flame, and love—chooses compassion over destruction. Defying her father’s plan to use her as a weapon, she embraces her own destiny. In a final act of rebellion and hope, she is claimed by Morrigan, an Original Vampire Queen, who grants her the power to break free.

This is not the tale of a vampire who saves the world…

It’s the tale of a daughter who refuses to burn it down.
