The Dracula Chronicles
is a new and exciting
series adding a fresh
dimension
to
the
Dracula legend, which
combines
the
real
historical Vlad Dracula
with a new and different
version of Dracula the
vampire. The series has
been released in two
arcs, one that follows
Dracula the man and the
other following Dracula
the vampire. It is written
in a style that is both
literary and cinematic,
that places you there in
the thick of the action
always.
The books are historical
novels of Gothic horror;
religious
corruption;
political intrigue; tragedy;
war; dark paranormal
fantasy;
and
deep
romance. The premise is
built around Creation
and the divide in Heaven
that
results
from
Lucifer’s jealousy of the
creation of man. This
leads to the First Great
War of the Angels and
Lucifer’s
eventual
expulsion from Heaven
with all those who sided
with
him.
The
annihilation of the angels
continues, but rather
than destroy Lucifer,
God agrees to a truce.
By its terms, Lucifer can
contest the soul of every
living being as long as he
does not interfere with
their free will. Should he
control more souls than
God at any time, he can
ascend again to Heaven
and cast God and the
angels out. He would
then have a free hand to
destroy all mankind.

THE VLAD DRACULA ARC.
The Vlad Dracula arc.. Books #1 to #5. Set in the 15th Century Balkans, this arc brings to life in its
entirety the world in which the real historical Vlad Dracula lived. It follows his loves; his triumphs; his
many great tragedies; the betrayals he endures; and his great struggle to survive his many perils and
secure the autonomy of his sovereign nation, Wallachia, which is sandwiched between the mighty
Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires. The books introduce you to all the great players of the
period, their political machinations, and their great conflicts set within the battle between Christianity
and Islam. They follow Lucifer and his schemes to manipulate the young Vlad Dracula into seeing
through his great plan. Replete with references that are Biblical and drawn from the writings of the
Kabbalah, The Dracula Chronicles also introduce a new vision of Hell and take you on a journey you
will never forget.
THE BOUND BY BLOOD ARC.
The Bound By Blood arc.. Books #6 to #10. This arc begins with Dracula’s last great battle at
Snagov in 1476. Despite winning yet another great victory, his enemies mortally wound him with
arrows. He orders his men to take him to the chapel at the nearby monastery so he can die on holy
ground. To his great chagrin, it is Lucifer who comes to claim his soul. The Dark One speaks of his
great vision, and of how he has chosen Dracula as his instrument to bring down the Cathol ic
Church. He bites into Dracula’s neck and then gives him his own blood to drink. In doing so, he
creates a monster, superhuman and immortal, who can live through the ages and help him win the
battle for souls.
Into the 16th Century, wherever the Catholic Church is harmed or loses its influence, Dracula is
there behind the scenes to propagate it all. He involves himself with Machiavelli; Martin Luther; in
the Italian wars between France and Spain; the Borgias; Henry VIII and the Tudor dynasty; and
many more.
At the same time his brother, Andrei, takes up the fight against him and arms the Church with the
knowledge of how to counter him. In resurrecting Dracula’s legitimate brother, Radu, from the dead
so as to exact retribution against him, Dracula and Lucifer have unleashed a powerful enemy who
has joined the battle against them.
