About this listen

Arius Crane has been called many things: hero, warrior, knight, friend, champion of the people, and defender against monsters that prey on the innocent. Most recently dead and no longer human, he has become the monster he opposed. All that he was in life is put to the test as he struggles to understand his newfound darkness.

Alexandria had the love of her family and fiancé. That was all she desired. However, destiny would not let her dreams come to fruition. A malevolent force tears through her life and burns it all before her eyes. Her kind heart is tested to the point it tarnishes her view of the world and everyone in it. She lived for love, now she'll die for vengeance.

Forged by pain and driven by suffering, two unlikely souls brave their own darkness to overcome the corruption sweeping over the Kingdom of Mordare. Will they be its salvation or damnation?

Who they were in life, they surpassed in death.

The author has taken the name Klaus Mikaleson. If you do not get that reference, I would not recommend this book. 

The story supposedly unfolds in the 7th century, but the book contains so many historical errors and is written in such a modern language that it is very hard to believe. This was centuries before the first knights appeared, even more centuries before small country schools were filled with books, and about 700 years before the term 'lieutenant' was used the first time. Elizabeth Báthory lived around year 1600. And sushi rolls? Seriously? 

However, it is not all bad. The story of how Arius becomes a vampire and then finds love is entertaining enough. If you are a fan of The Vampire Diaries, you will find some Easter eggs like a character named Silas, an Isobel, vampires with heightened emotions and super speed, compulsions, and, best of all, the loud echos of some of the most famous speeches of the Original Klaus Mikaleson - even an 'Always and forever'. 

Annoyingly historically incorrect vampire story
