Vertus State

Two centuries after being captured, turned, and tortured, Mercenary finally manages to escape the clutches of his abusive lord in the north - only to fall into the court of a far more ancient and mysterious vampire lord to the south.

Unlike his tyrannical maker, the steadfast lord of Cairn-over-Merda follows a code of humanistic morality otherwise unaccepted by the rest of their unliving high-society. Won over by Lord Deutran's quiet strength and kindly disposition, Mercenary casts his lot with her retributive ambitions, breaking vampiric law... and pitching all of the Rheinland into war.

First in the Vassal State Saga "Vertus State" is sure to entertain fans of vampires, post-apocalypses, and space operas. (The only thing this beast is missing is a kitchen sink...)
