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.
 
From whispers in the Colosseum to the chaos of the French Revolution, Jacob is the ghost behind the curtain, both spectator and puppeteer. In a world fraught with bloodshed and betrayal, can one immortal soul find redemption, or will the darkness consume him? Join Jacob as he traverses the ages, reinventing himself in a quest that blurs the lines between power and consequence in this haunting series that intertwines history and the legend of the vampire.
 
Dumped on the steps of a Nazereth orphanage, young Jacob struggles against the cruelty of his peers and the fragility of his own body.

Amidst conversations with a teenage Jesus, Jacob grapples with profound questions of morality and survival. As he treads the fine line between his desires and his conscience, he must decide: can he embrace his dark hunger without losing his soul? Welcome to the first chilling chapter of a haunting tale, where blood is both curse and salvation.
