The Rising of Julian Adams

Julian Adams rises from the grave not knowing what he is except a vicious predator. His bite changes others, some better him through friendship and cooperation, but others become the image of an ancient blight; hordes of beasts with self patronizing overlords. Sustained by human blood, two distinct Orders are created: one with clarity and cohesion, the other disjointed and without regard for others; one is a society with a utopian vision; the other a disorganized conglomerate living out their destructive lusts and hate; both are changing lives forever. Julian rises as the leader of the new society while haunted by the creation of his nemesis, Scott and his horrid creation. Humankind is locked in a balance between one who would become their savior and one who would see them rot in a hell on earth. The ancient Marcian Council slowly unravels the mysteries too late to intervene in the outcome they are sworn to eradicate. The United States is ignorant of the rise of one who would be called Emperor on their very soil. The battlefield is Northern California. Julian discovers that behind their health, their youth, their strengths, and a new world of mutants is the well guarded secret – they are vampires!
