In the shadows of history, where the blood of the powerful stains the earth, there exists a creature of ancient secrets—Jacob, the immortal vampire born in the time of Christ. As empires rise and fall, he weaves through the tapestry of time, never claiming the throne but always shaping the destinies of kings and conquerors. With each passing century, his dark wisdom deepens, and his hunger for meaning becomes evermore insatiable.
